Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality mayonnaise as your base for the best flavor and texture.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice instead of using bottled for a brighter, more vibrant taste.
- Experiment with additional flavor variations by adding herbs like chopped dill, minced garlic, or smoked paprika.
- Whisk ingredients thoroughly to ensure a smooth, well-incorporated mixture.
- Taste and adjust seasonings gradually to achieve your perfect flavor balance.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within a week for maximum freshness.
- Let the mayo sit for 10-15 minutes after mixing to allow flavors to meld together before serving.
