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.
I offer a very easy-to-prepare fish salad. The beauty of this salad is in high-quality rice, good fish, and if you decorate it with a funny apple fin, you can serve it to the festive table.
I love this salad for its simplicity and amazing taste. For me, the recipe for this tuna salad is a real find, as they say – a lifesaver when unexpected guests come. A great combination of just three ingredients makes this salad hearty, delicious and beautiful!
I love this chicken salad for its simplicity and at the same time divine taste. All the ingredients are perfectly combined with each other. Cooking takes a little time, and the result is beyond praise. On my festive or everyday table, the first salad “Tenderness” with chicken will be laid out.
The recipe of many years ago was born by itself, because in other combinations I simply do not understand and do not perceive cabbage. Very easy to prepare.
A very pleasant and light salad, in my opinion, healthy, and also beautiful. I called it that because I actually cook it with crabs more often, but today I offer shrimp.
This is one of my favorite salads, it is so colorful and immediately resembles a New Year’s, because it is not only delicious, but also bright. Very tasty.
