Mayonnaise

A condiment made by beating egg yolks, vegetable oil, salt and vinegar until it forms a thick sauce.  Mayonnaise is very easy to make at home but most commonly it is purchased pre-made.  In addition to full-fat versions mayonnaise is also available in reduced fat and fat free products.  Watch for additives in the lower fat versions. Sometimes using a small amount of real mayonnaise is a better health option than the chemical-laden low fat product.

As a spread: mustard, mashed avocado, aoli

32-oz jar = 4 cups mayonnaise
