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.

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.
