Why This Recipe Works

Our Sun-Dried Tomato-Caper Mayonnaise recipe comes together quickly and can be used as a sauce for fish or chicken, a spread for sandwiches, or a cooling dip for our sweet potato fries. Refrigerating the mayonnaise for at least 30 minutes allowed the flavors to blend and develop. It’s also important to use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, not the cellophane-packed, leathery ones, which have neither the flavor nor the silky texture of the oil-packed tomatoes.
