Fresh Lemon and Lime Mayonnaise
Fresh Mayonnaise is so different from some of the gloopy bought varieties. You realize how much oil goes in to it when making it yourself. Water lightens it as well as bulking it out and make sure you season well- it takes quite a lot of salt- to bring out the flavour.
