    I made a kiwi dressing with the homemade mayonnaise.

    Blending kiwi too long in a blender makes the taste off because of the seeds. That is why it is good to mash it by hand.

    Press it through a sieve and use what comes out underneath.

    Mix all dressing ingredients together and it is done.
