Thanks Britt. It’s so simple but makes mayo so much more better!

If all the ingredients store for so long in the fridge, why does this sauce only last 2-3 days? I would think as long as you shake well before using it would last much longer than a few days no?
jyothirajesh
I like the taste of this sauce for 2-3 days. It can be stored longer but somehow I don’t like it’s tastes after that
