Mayonnaise is a creamy, versatile sauce originating from French and Spanish cuisine. It is traditionally made by emulsifying egg yolks, oil, and vinegar or lemon juice, creating its signature smooth texture and rich flavor. Variations may include mustard, garlic, or herbs for added taste. While mayonnaise is a staple in sandwiches, salads, and dips, its nutritional profile requires careful consideration. It is calorie-dense due to its high fat content, primarily from oil, making portion control important for those watching calorie intake. Some versions use healthier oils like olive or avocado, offering beneficial fats. Low-fat or light mayonnaise options are available, reducing calories but often containing added sugars or thickeners. Homemade varieties can allow for better ingredient control compared to commercial products. Mayonnaise is cholesterol-rich due to egg yolks but provides some beneficial fats when consumed in moderation, fitting well within balanced diets.
