Most people associate mayonnaise with sandwiches, but in professional kitchens, its potential goes far beyond that.
Here are five high-impact ways chefs can incorporate mayonnaise into their menus:
1. As a Sauce Base
Mayonnaise provides the perfect foundation for signature sauces. Simply add flavors like garlic, chipotle, sriracha, or herbs to create unique offerings.
2. As a Marinade
Using mayonnaise in marinades helps lock in moisture and create a tender texture, especially for grilled chicken and seafood.
3. As a Dressing
From coleslaws to pasta salads, mayo-based dressings deliver creaminess and balance acidity beautifully.
4. For Grilling
Spread mayo on bread instead of butter for perfectly golden, crispy sandwiches with enhanced flavor.
5. In Hot Applications
Mayo can be used in baked dishes and gratins to add richness without splitting, making it a reliable alternative to cream.
