Cheese sauce with mayonnaise is a refined Italian sauce that adds a rich creamy flavor with a hint of spiciness to dishes. Its roots trace back to Mediterranean culinary traditions where cheese and herbs play a key role. The combination of delicate cheese with aromatic dill and garlic gives the sauce a deep, rich taste, while pickles add a slight tanginess. Sour cream and mayonnaise create a velvety texture, and lemon juice enhances all flavor nuances. This sauce is perfect for dressing salads, as an accompaniment to meat and vegetable dishes, or even as a dip for snacks. Its simplicity in preparation and rich flavor profile make it a versatile addition to any meal.
