Description

This creamy, zesty Old Bay Mayo is like a crab shack vacation in a jar. Mayo gets a glow-up with lemon zest, a punch of Old Bay, fresh chives, and Dijon. It’s tangy, savory, and ridiculously versatile—ready to dunk fries, drizzle over seafood, or transform any sandwich into a flavor bomb. Whip it up in minutes, and watch every bite become a celebration!


Ingredients

  • ½ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt/vegan mayo)

  • 2 tbsp finely chopped chives
