Mayonnaise is one of the most popular sauces for salad dressings. It was invented in the 18th century in Mallorca. Then the chef was given a clear order to develop a universal sauce that would be suitable for any dish. Of course, it is impossible to call mayonnaise completely universal. However, in the CIS countries, mayonnaise is suitable for almost any Soviet salad.
