Mayonnaise is a French cold sauce made from egg yolk, vegetable oil, mustard, vinegar, salt and sugar, sometimes mustard. This is a classic composition of a culinary product, but its cooking technologies vary. Mayonnaise can be high-calorie, medium-calorie and low-calorie. Also, the sauce is classified into dietary and snack.
How to Make Mayonnaise at Home?
It is very easy to prepare mayonnaise at home. To do this, it is enough to have a mixer or blender. For the preparation of mayonnaise, a blender is preferable, since the whipping speed is higher. To make homemade mayonnaise look lush and airy, vegetable oil is poured into a blender in a thin stream and whipped at a very high speed. Gradually, yolks and other ingredients are added to the oil. The whipped vegetable oil turns white and yellow, just like a real purchased mayonnaise. During the preparation of homemade mayonnaise, you can add additional products, for example, garlic, honey, nutmeg, ground black or red pepper.
How to Use Mayonnaise?
In cooking, mayonnaise is used to prepare various fish, meat and vegetable dishes. The sauce is an excellent dressing for salads, able to emphasize their taste. It is impossible to imagine such a salad as olivier without mayonnaise.
The culinary product complements soups, second courses, snacks, it is used as gravy for pasta and potatoes, marinade for barbecue, as well as as a basis for cooking tartare and other sauces. The product does not go well with sweet dishes, but it is sometimes added in small quantities to knead shortbread dough.
Red cabbage salad turns out bright, crispy, rich in vitamins and juicy. In its composition, the salad contains egg white, which after a while turns from cabbage into a pale blue color.
“Caesar” is probably one of the first “not our” salads, which took root and became a favorite among many. And this is understandable: the combination of fresh lettuce leaves, crispy croutons and spicy mayonnaise dressing with anchovies and parmesan will not leave you indifferent.
It’s been a long time since my husband and I ate salad dressed with mayonnaise. Everything is vegetable, yes, vegetable. So he says: “Wife, something is fed up with vegetables, do something with mayonnaise!” And I don’t like it with mayonnaise, well, in any way. As a result, such a salad was born. And, as it turned out, chicken goes well with crab sticks. We really liked the salad.
Crab sticks go well with vegetables, and if you add a little beans to them, you will get a decent dish. The salad has an interesting rich taste, it is colorful, bright, satisfying and not very high in calories.
Here’s a recipe I found on the Internet. I can’t say that the salad is light, like cheese with mayonnaise, but I liked it, I hope you will like it too.
