Sunflower seed mayonnaise
Description
Perfectly complements meat, poultry, and side dishes. Surprisingly, sunflower seeds really do make a thick and creamy mayonnaise. If you don't add lemon juice and spices, the sauce will taste like raw sunflower seeds, which is exactly what it's made from. Optionally, replace the mustard powder with a mixture of ground herbs. The sauce is ready. Store in the refrigerator and serve with dishes.
