mayonnaise
Creamy egg condiment
Mayonnaise is a thick, creamy condiment made by emulsifying oil with egg yolks, typically with added lemon juice or vinegar for tang.
It serves as a base for countless sauces and dressings, from aioli to ranch to thousand island.
In American cuisine, mayo is nearly synonymous with sandwich-making and appears in potato salad, coleslaw, and deviled eggs.
Hold the mayo is a common request when ordering sandwiches.
