Lemon-Caper-Dill Mayo

This scrumptious, healthy mayo is a luxurious condiment with many uses. The capers lend fabulous flavor to this delicious condiment, and they're surprising good for you too. These little flower buds are high in rutin and quercetin, flavonoid compounds with powerful antioxidant activity and impressive liver-protective benefits. If you prefer to omit them, however, the mayo will still be lovely.
