It’s wonderful to have mayonnaise back on the menu, now that we are being encouraged to eat more healthy fats with our food. You can of course make your own, but a good-quality shop-bought mayo works well, particularly if you add different flavours to it. Remember that full-fat is better for you and tastes better too, though it is also high in calories so watch the quantities.
