Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise is a creamy emulsified sauce commonly used in dressings, sandwiches, salads, and dips.
About Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise is a thick, creamy emulsion made by dispersing oil in an aqueous phase, traditionally with egg and an acidic ingredient such as vinegar or lemon juice. It is used in sandwiches, salads, dressings, dips, sauces, and as a coating or base for other preparations.
It is usually white to pale yellow, glossy, and smooth, with a mildly tangy flavour and rich, fatty mouthfeel. Thickness, acidity, sweetness, saltiness, and seasoning vary between jarred, squeeze-bottle, and homemade versions.
Mayonnaise is sold in jarred and squeeze-bottle forms, as well as made at home. Products may differ in stabilisation; some commercial versions use egg alternatives or additional thickeners. Mixing or thinning changes its consistency for dressings and sauces.

Reference values for the specific food form shown. Other varieties, brands and preparations can differ.
Portions & preparation
Identify plain mayonnaise or the specific flavored, reduced, egg-free, or specialty formulation, then use the ready-to-eat product. Recipes differ in oils, eggs, acids, salt, sugar, starches, and stabilizers. Compare a spread, dressing, or dip by the portion actually served and its additions.
Compare the right form: Match references to the exact ready-to-eat mayonnaise formulation, including egg status, oil type, flavoring, starches, and serving use.
Diet considerations
Mayonnaise is an emulsified product whose plant or animal composition depends on its oil, egg, and other ingredients. Compatibility changes with egg, dairy, fish, gelatin, cereal-derived thickeners, or sweeteners. Plain mayonnaise differs from flavored sauces and prepared salads, whose added ingredients alter the portion-dependent carbohydrate pattern.
