The king of cold sauces (no offence to vinaigrette). Delicious and delicate, like all emulsions, and also somewhat delicate in terms of food safety as it’s made with raw eggs. Health risks can be minimised by being careful when handling the eggs, cracking them in a separate bowl and ensuring the content does not come into contact with the shell (which is where you’ll find salmonella bacteria). Mayonnaise must always be stored in a well-closed container in the fridge, and any remaining product thrown out after two days. The eggs and oil should be at room temperature to prevent curdling. It can be seasoned with mustard, chives or chopped shallots, lemon or lime rind, or herbs.
