Mayonnaise is a creamy condiment that serves as a popular addition to a wide range of dishes. It is primarily composed of three key ingredients, namely egg yolks, oil, and vinegar or lemon juice.

This emulsification process is typically achieved by slowly adding oil to the egg yolks and vinegar or lemon juice while continuously whisking or blending the mixture. Mayonnaise is known for its rich, smooth texture and a slightly tangy flavor, making it a versatile ingredient in various culinary applications. Its neutral taste allows it to complement both savory and sweet dishes. Many individuals use mayonnaise as a base for salad dressings, sandwich spreads, and dips.
