What goes with Mayonnaise?
Mayonnaise holds finely dispersed oil droplets in an aqueous phase supplied by yolk and acidic liquid. The dense droplet structure gives it body even though it is mostly oil by weight. Oil flavour, yolk quantity and the acid chosen determine whether the result tastes neutral, eggy, fruity or sharply seasoned.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Mayonnaise?
A coating for cold prawns should be thinner than a mayonnaise intended for piping. With avocado, use enough acidity to distinguish two rich ingredients; with crab, limit the sauce so the flakes remain recognisable. Cool prepared additions before mixing and evaluate seasoning in the complete filling.
