Last week's Salon Kitchen Challenge celebrated Earth Day the hippie way, with a VW Bus-load of granola recipes. Dual winners and constant competitors Mandee Tatum (better known around these parts as Iamsurly) and 1_Irritated_Mother brought us a Summer of Love-style tie-dyed ice cream/granola cookie recipe and some truly rebellious instructions for the making of delicious pancakes, respectively. Read Mandee and Mother's  posts at Salon and check out Francis Lam's roundup of other great entries.

Now, this week's challenge:

Mayonnaise is the King of Sauces. On its own, it's the all-purpose sauce of the South. You add some buttermilk and some garlic powder or whatever, and it's ranch dressing, aka Midwestern Sauce. Mix in some garlic and extra virgin olive oil, and it's aioli -- Mediterranean Sauce. Add some chipotle peppers to it and, well, there are whole swaths of the restaurant industry that serve the indigenous cuisine of Chipotlemayolandia.

We caught some flak for this, but we remain unbowed. Mayonnaise is the limitless condiment, the maker of good things.

So this week, we're asking you to get our back. What is your favorite mayonnaise-based recipe? Do you mix seasonings into it for your own sauce or dressing? Do you make an amazing macaroni salad? Do you slather it on fish and bake it?
