All About Mayonnaise - The Magic Condiment

By Risha Ganguly

Mayonnaise is a condiment that is used in many different dishes. It is a creamy, cold and smooth dip that goes well with fries, burgers and sandwiches.

Ingredients

The dressing uses just three main ingredients - oil, egg yolk and either lemon juice or vinegar. You can add spices according to the flavour that you want. 

How To Make It?

 Mayonnaise is made by slowly adding oil to egg yolk. And while doing so, whisking the mixture vigorously to disperse the oil.

Where Did It Originate?

There is a major disagreement in experts on the origin of mayonnaise. Some claim it came from France, while others credit Spain it.

Is It Healthy?

Anything made with an obscene amount of oil is not healthy, but that does not mean we do not eat our favourite dressing. Just have mayonnaise in moderation.

How To Use It?

Mayonnaise is a good dip for fries, great dressing for salads and an amazing filling fir sandwiches. It also goes well with nachos, garlic bread and nuggets.
