What is "mayonnaise"?
Mayonnaise is a creamy and rich condiment made from a mixture of oil, egg yolks, vinegar or lemon juice, and seasonings. It has a smooth and velvety texture with a tangy and savory flavor profile. Mayonnaise is traditionally made by slowly whisking oil into beaten egg yolks until thick and creamy, creating a stable and versatile sauce. It is commonly used as a spread for sandwiches, wraps, and burgers, as well as a base for salad dressings, dips, and sauces. Mayonnaise adds richness and moisture to dishes, enhancing their overall taste and texture.
