Cheese and chives are a classic combination for party dips, but feel free to substitute the chives in this mayonnaise recipe with another flavoursome fresh herb such as thyme, sage or dill. Nathan Outlaw's recipe uses mature cheddar in this fantastic cheese mayonnaise, which, in addition to providing an excellent dip can be used in sandwiches or on salads
