Mayonnaise, informally mayo, is a thick cold condiment or dressing used in sandwiches and composed salads or on French fries. It is a base in sauces such as Tartar sauce, it is a stable emulsion of oil, egg yolk, an acid, either vinegar or lemon juice. There are many variants using additional flavorings; the proteins and lecithin in the egg yolk serve as emulsifiers in mayonnaise. The color of mayonnaise varies from near-white to pale yellow, its texture from a light cream to a thick gel. Commercial egg-free alternatives are made for vegans and others who avoid chicken eggs or dietary cholesterol; until it was thought that the sauce did not exist prior to 1756, the year the French invaded the island of Menorca. However, the sauce appears in 19 recipes of a manuscript written in 1750 by Fray Francesc Roger, a Valencian friar who published the recipe in the"Art de la Cuina, llibre cuina menorquina del s. XVIII Francesc Roger calls the sauce "aioli bo", "bo" referring to the fact. Earlier recipes of similar emulsified sauces bearing garlic, appear in a number of Spanish recipe books, dating all the way back to the 14th century Llibre de Sent Soví, where it is called all-i-oli.

This sauce had spread throughout the Crown of Aragon, for Juan de Altamiras gives a recipe for it in his celebrated 1745 recipe book Nuevo Arte de Cocina. Thus, mayonnaise sauce existed in the Balearic Islands well before the French invasion of Menorca in 1756, precluding a French origin of the sauce, it was the French that made it famous. The 18th took the port of Mahon; the "aioli bo" sauce was thereafter adopted by the cook of the Duke of Richelieu, who upon his return to France made the sauce famous in the French court. At that point, the sauce became known as mahonnaise. A number of legends arose relating how the Duke of Richelieu first tried the sauce, including his discovery of the sauce in a local inn of Mahon where he would have asked the innkeeper to fix him some dinner during the siege of Mahon, that he invented it himself as a quick garnish. Modern French dictionaries suggest that the current spelling of the sauce as "mayonnaise" arose as a spelling typo or as a variant of the original spelling of the sauce, "mahonnaise", since the "y" sound helps break the diphthong..

Theories furthering a French origin of the sauce are discredited. An emulsion making use of abundant quantities of olive oil appears to have an unlikely French origin, given that olive oil at the time was only used in the cuisine of Provence; the claim that Lancelot de Casteau had published a recipe of the sauce is nowadays discredited as a 19th-century fabrication. The origin of the sauce in the city of Bayonne seems unlikely: Grimod de La Reynière's 1808 "bayonnaise" sauce is a sort of aspic: "But if one wants to make from this cold chicken, a dish of distinction, one composes a bayonnaise, whose green jelly, of a good consistency, forms the most worthy ornament of poultry and fish salads." In fact, the earliest known French recipes of the sauce appear to be recipes for an aspic, not a sauce: Viard's 1806 recipe for "poulets en mayonnaise" describes a sauce involving a velouté, vinegar, an optional egg to thicken it, which gels like an aspic. The word "mayonnaise" is first attested in English in 1815.

A common theory is that it is named for Port Mahon, itself named after its founder Mago Barca, in Menorca, in honor of the 3rd Duke of Richelieu's victory over the British in 1756, in fact the name "mahonnaise" is used by some authors. But the name is only attested long after that event. One version of this theory says that it was known as salsa mahonesa in Spanish, but that spelling is only attested later. Grimod de La Reynière rejected the name "mayonnaise" because the word "is not French". Carême preferred the spelling "magnonnaise", which he derived from the French verb manier'to handle'. Another suggestion is it derives from Charles de Lorraine, duke of Mayenne, because he took the time to finish his meal of chicken with cold sauce before being defeated in the Battle of Arques. Regardless of the origin of the term "mayonnaise", predating the arrival of Richelieu, the original name of the sauce before the second half of the 18th century was "aioli bo"; this term was used in the 1745 recipe book "Nuevo Arte de Cocina", by Juan de Altimiras, featuring numerous traditional Menorcan recipes.

Recipes for mayonnaise date back to the early nineteenth century. In 1815, Louis Eustache Ude wrote: No 58.—Mayonnaise. Take three spoonfuls of Allemande, six ditto of aspic, two of oil. Add a little tarragon vinegar, that has not boiled, some pepper and salt, minced ravigotte, or some parsley. Put in the members of fowl, or fillets of soles, &c. Your mayonnaise must be put to ice. Next dish your meat or fish, mask with the sauce before it be quite frozen, garnish your dish with whatever you think proper, as beet root, nasturtiums, &c. In an 1820 work, Viard describes something like the more familiar emulsified version: This sauce is made to "take" in many ways: with raw egg yolks, with gelatine, with veal or veal brain glaze; the most common method is to take a raw egg yolk in a small terrine, with a little salt and lemon juic
