Mayonnaise and the Vegan Diet

Mayonnaise is a thick, creamy dressing and condiment commonly used in sandwiches, salads, and sauces. It is traditionally made by emulsifying egg yolks with oil and either vinegar or lemon juice. The process of emulsification creates a stable mixture that gives mayonnaise its characteristic texture and tangy flavor. While it is popular in many cuisines around the world, traditional mayonnaise is not suitable for vegans because it contains eggs, which are animal products.
