Mayonnaise dressing is a creamy condiment made primarily from oil, egg yolks, vinegar or lemon juice, and seasonings. Originating from French cuisine, it has grown to become a staple in diverse culinary traditions globally, used in salads, sandwiches, dips, and marinades. The key ingredient, oil, provides a rich and smooth texture, while the egg yolks act as an emulsifier, creating its signature consistency. Though flavorful, mayonnaise is calorie-dense and high in fats, including saturated fats, which should be consumed in moderation. Commercial varieties may also contain added sugars or preservatives. On the healthier side, its base components can deliver healthy fats and essential nutrients like vitamin E and choline from the eggs, depending on the quality of the ingredients. For a lighter option, low-fat or alternative versions made with yogurt or plant-based oils are available. Mayonnaise dressing enhances flavor but balance is key for mindful consumption.
