Sandwich Mayonnaise
Sandwich mayonnaise is a creamy, tangy condiment specifically formulated to enhance sandwiches. Its texture is smooth and spreadable, making it easy to apply to bread. The flavor profile is typically a balanced blend of acidity from vinegar or lemon juice, richness from oil, and subtle sweetness. Sandwich mayonnaise often contains stabilizers and preservatives to extend its shelf life and maintain its creamy consistency, setting it apart from homemade or gourmet varieties. It is a staple for adding moisture, flavor, and a touch of fat to sandwiches, wraps, and even used as a base for sandwich spreads.
Common Uses
- Used as a spread on bread or rolls in sandwiches to add moisture and flavor to deli meats, vegetables, and cheeses.
- Mixed with other ingredients like relish, pickles, and herbs to create flavored sandwich spreads such as tartar sauce or thousand island dressing.
- Emulsified into cold salads like potato salad, macaroni salad, or coleslaw to bind the ingredients and provide a creamy texture.
- Employed as a base for dips and dressings, enhancing the flavor and consistency of the final product.
- Used as a topping for burgers or other grilled meats to add a cool and tangy element.

Storage Tips
Store unopened mayonnaise in a cool, dark pantry away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Once opened, always refrigerate mayonnaise promptly at or below 40°F (4°C). Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent spoilage and maintain freshness. Avoid double-dipping utensils into the jar to prevent bacterial contamination. Discard mayonnaise if you notice any changes in color, smell, or texture.
