Dips and spreads add flavors to the food and makes an excellent appetizers when combined with crackers, bread sticks, veggies, and fruits. And are a great addition to the pantry when one is hard pressed for time and needs a quick breakfast.
At times I rely on the store bought Mayonnaise which have a longer shelf life than the homemade ones. But certainly you can add variations and lots of flavors when you make it at home, apart from getting a much healthy and chemical free mayonnaise.
I have tried a few recipes and like almost all of them, my favorite is the herb Mayonnaise done with fresh yogurt.
A good reason for trying out the egg less version is to cut off the extra calories and make it healthier.
Yogurt & Olive oil mayonnaise
Ingredients;
500 ml of fresh Yogurt
1 tbsp. of Condensed milk
2 tbsp of extra virgin Olive oil
1 tsp of fresh mint (shredded)
1/4 tsp. of black pepper powder
A pinch of Salt
A tsp of herb seasoning
Method: To make this yogurt mayonnaise the curd needs to be thick. Check the post here on how to make hung curd.
Keep the thick curd in refrigerator along with the muslin cloth overnight. Take out the cloth and collect the curd in a clean vessel. Add rest of the ingredients and adjust the taste accordingly.
Refrigerate the Mayonnaise, stays good for 3-4 days.
Notes;
This recipe of Mayonnaise is quite easy to make and needs no blending and churning.
But has a shorter shelf life than the other variations.
