17 Surprisingly Practical Uses For Mayonnaise (Page 3 ) | March 18, 2024

13. Grilled Cheese

The first time someone told me that they use mayo on the outside of their grilled cheese rather than butter, I was highly skeptical. Sounds weird, right? But surprisingly, it isn’t weird at all! It tastes about the same as butter, and it browns beautifully for a golden, crispy grilled cheese.

14. Polish Silver

Give your silver jewelry a quick polish with a bit of mayo! The acid of the lemon and/or vinegar in the mayonnaise will remove tarnish and add a lovely shine to your jewelry.

15. Make A Dip

I can never resist a good dip. I wrote a post a few months ago with 10 delicious dip recipes, and several of them just wouldn’t be the same without mayo! And highly recommend giving a homemade mayo recipe a try to spice up any dip that has mayonnaise as an ingredient.

16. Gum In Hair

If your child or grandchild has gotten gum in their hair, give this mayo solution a try before breaking out the scissors. Just rub mayonnaise onto the gum and the hair surrounding it, then gently slide the gum down the hair strands using your fingers.

17. Make Dressing

When your mayonnaise is just about empty (perhaps after having tried the other 16 uses above?), don’t toss it just yet. You can use the remaining bit of mayo in the jar to make a tasty, creamy dressing.

Just add a bit of olive oil, a splash of vinegar, and a sprinkling of your herbs of choice to the jar. Replace the lid, then shake it up really well. Use it to dress a simple salad of greens for a healthy snack or side.
