Betting with the spread

Mayoli

Noshing & Sipping by Theresa Regli

Traditional mayonnaise is an emulsion of vegetable oil, egg yolks, and vinegar or lemon juice, occasionally with added seasonings. Mayoli, a twist on America's favorite sandwich spread (and France's favorite sauce for fries), is made with olive oil instead of vegetable oil. This gives it a rich, earthy, olivey taste, making it perfect for a sandwich of tomatoes, basil, and fresh mozzarella -- or, for that matter, most other sandwiches. A 16-ounce jar costs about $2.50 at most area supermarkets, including Star Market.
