Add the oil in a thin, slow stream, while the blender is running, until a thick emulsion forms.
Blender
💡The thin stream is everything: fat that goes in too fast can't bind, and the sauce breaks. For mayonnaise and hollandaise, if this happens, start with a fresh yolk and slowly add the broken sauce to it; if the sauce is too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of water.

Add the lemon juice and stir. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Spread in the pita the mustard and mayonnaise, arrange in it the shawarma and the tomatoes and cucumber, roll up and serve immediately.
