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.

It is rare when a festive table is complete without fish salads. And it’s hard to imagine a New Year’s feast without such salads. I offer my own version of a simple but very tasty salad. Fragrant spicy dressing and cooked peeled vegetables give the salad a new interesting taste.
Amazingly delicious, juicy and fragrant salad – light, sonorous, spring! It captivates with its simplicity, at the same time it has a touch of noble refinement and subtle piquancy!
I never thought that I would post a recipe for “Herring under a fur coat” somewhere, so many things have been invented on this topic. But I came across an interesting idea and couldn’t resist. Classic New Year’s table in the original interpretation of the “buffet”. I must say that there are no specific proportions here, it all depends on the number of boats prepared and their volume. The taste of the salad does not suffer from such a presentation, but on the contrary, it becomes more interesting.
