Ordinary mayonnaise is one of the most polarizing condiments in the aisle. But what about mayonnaise mixed with chipotle or herbs? Roast garlic or truffles? It is an idea that makes sense, and if it is well done, a spoon, a smear or a burnt can raise Ho-Hum food in Delicious.
Although the idea of flavored Mayo is not new, an explosion of interest in the category has inspired companies to create a range of fun and imaginative variations. Think of chili and lime, pickles and herbs, Sriracha, Harissa and more.
Since many companies make several flavors, we have chosen to make a random catch, to reach as many different flavors that we have been able to find. Note that we have included some entitled “Aioli”, the European name of garlic mayonnaise. Almost half of the Mayos, we tried Lean Spicy, because it is easily the most popular offer.
Good mayonnaise flavored has the smooth smoothness of traditional Mayo, but with much more flavor. The best flavored mayonnaise brings fresh and balanced flavors that complement rather than overwhelming. Bad flavored mayonnaise is fatty, overwhelming and guaranteed to destroy almost everything it touches.
Here are details on delicious and inventive Mayos that are a great shortcut to dressings, salads, sandwiches and more, and disastrous and oily experiences have been wrong. Nutrition information refers to 1 tablespoon.
