Mayonnaise (mayo for short) is a popular condiment made by beating together oil and egg yolks with lemon juice or vinegar and some seasonings.1 Of course, most people use store-bought mayonnaise, though homemade mayonnaise could definitely be worth the extra effort.
Mayonnaise is often used as a spread or used to make dressings for egg, potato, tuna, or chicken salad. For some recipes you might be able to substitute yogurt (or Greek yogurt) for mayonnaise for more protein and less fat.
