- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil (high-quality preferred)

Step-by-Step Recipe for Pink Hollandaise Sauce
1. Prepare the Ingredients
- Gather all ingredients and measure them accurately.

- In a blender, combine egg yolks, lemon juice, and beetroot juice. Blend on medium speed until frothy and slightly thickened.

4. Season and Adjust

Tips for Perfect Pink Hollandaise Sauce
- Use High-Quality Olive Oil: The flavor of olive oil will dominate, so choose a fruity and mild extra virgin variety.

- Prevent Curdling: Ensure the olive oil is warm, not hot, to avoid cooking the egg yolks prematurely.
