Mayonnaise Flavoring

MUSTARD MAYONNAISE

Add 1 to 2 teaspoons Dijon style mustard to 1/2 cup Low Fat or fat free mayonnaise; Add pressed garlic if desired.

GARLIC MAYONNAISE

Add as many cloves of pressed garlic as desired to mayonnaise while preparing it.

ANCHOVY MAYONNAISE

To make this interesting variation, you can try two different methods: Add 1/2 to 1 Tsp. anchovy paste to 1/2 cup mayonnaise. Or, using one 2 oz. can of anchovies, mix the oil from the can into 1 cup of mayonnaise, then add anchovies, finely minced.

CURRY MAYONNAISE

To make this special sauce, add 1 Tsp curry powder to one-cup homemade mayonnaise. Or you can add a mixture of 1/4 Tsp. turmeric, 1/4 Tsp. corrainder and 1 Tsp. cumin to 1 Cup mayonnaise.

HERB MAYONNAISE

Add tarragon leaves, fresh thyme, dill, chervil or finely minced parsley or basil leaves to mayonnaise. A combination of several herbs might be very nice.

Remember, you can use regular mayonnaise or substitute low-fat or non-fat to reduce fat grams and calories.

VINEGAR DRESSING

Vinegar can be used alone as a dipping sauce or as a dressing over artichokes. Balsamic and fruit-flavored Vinegars impart a special flavor, or add herbs to simple wine vinegar.
