Fold roughly chopped basil into mayonnaise then top on cream-based soups. The best pairings include a tangy tomato or a filling potato soup.

Mix aromatic fresh dill and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice into mayonnaise and use it as a topping on baked, grilled or pan-seared fish fillet.

Inspired by Japanese pizzas, you can most definitely place mayo on slices of homemade pizza.

We usually reach for a bottle of Worcestershire sauce for steak. Try something different and create a mayonnaise blend flavored with lemon juice, mustard, minced garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Serve with sliced grilled steak and arugula leaves sandwiched between whole grain bread.
