Mayo is more than just a condiment–it's the base for creamy salad dressings, the perfect addition to classic deviled eggs, a thickener and flavor enhancer for dips and sauces, and it makes a bacon, lettuce and tomato wrap the best meal. Making your own from scratch is super easy and it tastes amazing–you won't ever want to go back to the store-bought jarred stuff.
