Open a fridge in any home and there is bound to be a bottle of mayonnaise! This thick, rich, creamy dressing is simply delicious and has a variety of uses. It can be served as a dip with fries or raw vegies, used as a spread in sandwiches, wraps, hotdogs and burgers, used in salads and with tuna, chicken and egg and can be used as a base ingredient to make tartar sauce, thousand island and ranch dressing. It’s surprisingly healthy and so easy to make. Here’s how;
