Mayonnaise

Not Vegan

Mayonnaise is a thick, creamy emulsified condiment traditionally made from egg yolks, oil, and an acidic component such as vinegar or lemon juice. It is not vegan due to its egg content, though plant-based alternatives exist. It is commonly used as a spread, sauce base, and in bound salads.
