Mayonnaise (/ËmeÉªÉneÉªz/, /ËmeÉªÉËneÉªz/ or in AmE also /ËmÃ¦neÉªz/, and often abbreviated as mayo /ËmeÉªoÊ/) is a thick, creamy dressing often used as a condiment.[1] It is a stable emulsion of oil, egg yolk, and either vinegar or lemon juice,[2] with many options for embellishment with other herbs and spices.
The word mayonnaise was not used for a dressing before the start of the 19th century. The earliest reference appears to be by Alexandre Viard (1806), who however never quite gives a recipe for the dressing itself. At that point, the sauce was made with aspic or jelly, rather than an egg emulsion.
