I tried 7 different mayonnaises to find the best one. I’m shocked the cheapest condiment beat my usual favorite.

Mayonnaise is a popular condiment that can add flavor to a range of bites, from a deli sandwich to a potato salad.

Some mayo lovers have a favorite brand and rarely deviate from their product of choice, while others like to experiment with a range of varieties.

My preference falls in the former category.

I’m a creature of habit when it comes to buying mayonnaise and condiments in general.

Hellmann’s mayo is a staple in my fridge, and I put it on everything from BLTs to chicken-salad sandwiches.

However, I was curious whether there might be a new favorite mayonnaise out there just waiting to be found.

So, I grabbed seven different varieties of mayo and tried each on its own and in homemade chicken salad.

Here’s how I’d rank them, from my least favorite to my top pick.
