One thing we know to be true; we cannot live a proper summer without mayonnaise. Whether it be on a sandwich, used as a dip for grilled meats and fish, dipped into with French fries or put on salads, mayo (its nickname) is an everyday condiment. By altering the flavor just a smidgen here and there, a simple enhanced mayo can completely change the way your food tastes and make it so much more extraordinary.
