Mayonnaise is often referred to as Mayo. It is made with eggs, vinegar and oil and may have herbs added for flavor. It is an emulsion of the oil and vinegar and may seperate if not mixed properly. The use of electric mixers , food processors or blenders have made this tedious task much easier.  

'''Mayonnaise''' (often referred to as mayo) is a [[condiment]] originating in [[France|French]] cuisine.<ref>https://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/371054/mayonnaise</ref>  It is made by emulsifying [[egg]]s, oil and an [[acid]]ic liquid such as [[vinegar]] or [[lemon]] juice, and may have herbs, garlic, or spices added for flavor. This is traditionally done by combining the egg and liquid and slowly whisking in the oil. Blenders, mixers, and food processors allow modern cooks to incorporate the oil much more quickly.  Mayonnaise may separate and fail to emulsify if the oil is added too quickly or it isn't mixed thoroughly enough.

For home use mayonnaise is typically purchased from the supermarket and not made. For those on a diet there are low-fat versions and substitutes like Miracle Whip(tm)

Mayonnaise is a popular condiment for many foods, including [[chicken]], [[egg]], and [[potato]] salads; [[hamburger]]s; [[sandwich]]es; [[French fries]], and raw [[vegetable]]s.
