Notes from Craig
Mayonnaise can be used immediately and will thicken as it rests refrigerated for the first 24 hours.
Diamonod Crystal Kosher salt is much less salty than table salt. If using Morton Kosher, Maldon salt, sea salt, or any other salt, You should start with 1/4 to 1/2 tsp and adjust from there (I would use slightly over 1/2 tsp sea salt).
This recipe can be made salt-free, but the salt acts as a preservative keeping the butter good for 7-10 days instead of 5-7 days.
