Mayonnaise recipes

Whether you’re looking for the best homemade mayonnaise recipe or dishes that make this staple condiment the hero, we have all the mayo-based inspiration you need. Start with our ultimate homemade mayonnaise recipe, including tips on transforming it into tartare sauce, thousand island dressing, cheat’s alioli and more.

Love mayo? We have recipes that put it centre-stage, including a crudité platter with green mayonnaise and knock-out coronation egg mayonnaise sandwich. Mayo-based salads and slaws are the ideal sides for barbecues and buffet spreads, too.

Creamy, tart mayonnaise makes a stellar pairing with delicate seafood: try these salt hake fritters with orange alioli or Marmite calamari with triple-citrus mayo to see for yourself. And who can resist a classic prawn cocktail?

If you want to expand your mayonnaise recipe horizons, we have ideas for Japanese-style oyster po’boy sandwiches with wasabi mayo; Italian chicken with peaches and pistachio mayo; and duck tacos with chipotle mayonnaise. Mayonnaise will never let you down!
