Tip - Liven up Mayo

Here's a quick tip to liven up your sandwich or dress up a dish. Flavour up your mayo. I add pesto to mine for a "pesto aioli". Sounds fancy, doesn't it? (I like it for dipping my baked fries in, deadly!) You can serve a dollop with fish, chicken or meat as an accent sauce. Veggies would love a dip too. This takes the food to a more gourmet level and is deadly easy. Just remember to only use a little, you want to up the flavour not ruin a healthy meal!

With your mayo mix any of the following.

Italian Twist:
basil, oregano, thyme and rosemary

Spicy:
fresh or dried chilies, chili powder, cayenne powder, Tabasco

Tangy:
Ketchup

French:
Crushed peppercorns, a dribble of white wine and a dab of Dijon mustard

More Italian:
Sun dried tomato and garlic

More varieties:
Any fresh herbs
or Lemon

You are only limited by your imagination.
