Mayonnaise Or Vegan Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise is a creamy condiment traditionally made from oil, egg yolk, and an acid such as vinegar or lemon juice; vegan mayonnaise is typically made with plant oils and egg-free emulsifiers. It is primarily used as a spread, dressing base, or sauce ingredient rather than a standalone food.
