notes

• I almost never measure anything when making this recipe, instead using the rough template above, then tasting the result and tweaking as necessary. The key is to balance the creaminess of the mayo with the acidity of the lemon juice + vinegar, and then season it to taste.
• This recipe is super easy and quick to make, and works well as a side for meat based dishes like burgers, bbq, etc.
