Mayonnaise remains a staple salad dressing in western cuisine with the availability of different flavors and verities in the market

 

Mayonnaise, informally called Mayo, is a cold cream sauce or salad dressing often used in burgers, tellingly also known as the "cheese spread" across the planet. It forms the basis for countless other delicious sauces, including hummus, tuna salad, salsa golf, and remoulade. It goes by many names such as "American cheese," "curly cheese," and "cream cheese." It's served on everything from popcorn to biscuits, from chocolate chip cookies to potato chips, from tuna salad to pizza. Truly, no other condiment provides as wide a range of versatility and uses as Mayonnaise.

Traditionally, mayonnaise is thick, clear, and somewhat pale yellow in color. Modern production tends to produce a semi-opaque emulsion with nearly no color difference. The emulsification process used in making mayonnaise uses fats from olive oil, grapeseed oil, or fats from Shea butter, cocoa butter, or sesame seed oil. In addition, it may contain smaller amounts of other ingredients, including fruit or sugar.

There are two common ways of preparing mayonnaise. At the counter in a food service store, it may be purchased in a can, jar, or container. This type is inexpensive, and there are many convenient ways to use it from the store. Simply grab a few, add water, shake, and serve. To create a thick, creamy, spreadable sauce for fish, use vinegar, sugar, mustard, and oil. Slowly whisk the vinegar, mustard, and oil together. Then add chicken, shrimp, or a variety of other seafood, and sprinkle over the top with the breadcrumbs mixture. Cover tightly, and let marinate for at least one hour. Remove the chicken and fish from the marinade, and re-heat the marinade. Recently, in April 2021, Duke’s Mayonnaise launched four new flavored mayos including bacon & tomato, habanero garlic, cucumber dill, and fire-roasted red pepper.
