Expert Tips That I Recommend

Immersion Blender: I suggest using an immersion blender for smoother and creamier results. You can simply use a food processor if you don’t have that.
Elevate With Extra Spices: If I choose to do some alterations in this mayo to bring more flavors, then I go with smoked paprika or cumin. This gives the mayo a robust flavor.
Customize: Apart from the ingredients mentioned above, you can also customize the mayo per your preferences. I suggest you use avocado, sriracha, or roasted red peppers for a better flavor.
Roasted Garlic: Boost the flavors of this Chipotle Mayo by adding roasted garlic instead of regular one. Trust me, it’ll give you the best results by enhancing the sweetness and adding more complex flavor.
Resting Technique: Take my suggestion, let the mayo rest for some time before serving as this will allow the flavors to meld together better.
