Mayonnaise
Immerse yourself in the wonders of this fine culinary emulsion. As a sandwich spread or the base of more complicated dressings and sauces, a good mayo is not hard to find at Thrive Market.
Say Hello to Mayo!
At its simplest, mayonnaise is just four things: eggs, oil, and something acidic, usually either lemon juice or vinegar. The tricky part comes when you combine all of the ingredients, because they simply don’t mix. Oil must be added slowly, while rapidly whisking, in order to whip these disparate ingredients into the smooth, creamy spread we know and love.
