Grainy mustard adds textural complexity and pleasant sharpness, while lemon juice balances the richness of olive oil, creating a harmony of flavors. This sauce is perfect for salads, sandwiches, seafood, and vegetable appetizers. It not only enriches dishes with aromas but also adds visual appeal with its golden shade. Such mayonnaise is an excellent addition for gourmets who appreciate unusual flavor combinations and an aesthetic approach to presentation.
