Mayonnaise Dips & Sauces

By Andrew Zimmern

Now that I’ve taught you how to make homemade mayonnaise, here are a few ways to jazz it up for a dip, marinade, salad dressing or sandwich spread. Really, the possibilities are endless, so season to your liking with whatever herbs, citrus and spices you have on hand. Want a little heat? Add a minced jalapeño. Need a sauce for french fries? Roast a head of garlic. Craving a tangy dip? Stir in a scoop of plain yogurt. Looking for a party appetizer? Try my warm artichoke and crab dip. Making a cold seafood platter? Whip up a batch of my herbed aioli. You get the idea.
