Tayeb Sauces Compared: Andalouse vs Samourai vs Algerian (Which One Should You Buy?)
If you have ever ordered fries or a sandwich at a European snack bar, you have probably met the creamy, flavored mayo sauces that come on the side. Tayeb makes three of the best known, and each one tastes different. Here is a quick guide to choosing between them.
Tayeb Andalouse sauce: tangy and mellow
Andalouse is a creamy, mayo-based sauce with tomato and peppers. It is the mildest of the three, with a slightly sweet, tangy flavor that works with almost anything. If you are cooking for a mixed group or for kids, start here.
Best with: fries, burgers, grilled chicken, sandwiches and cold meats.

Tayeb Samourai sauce: spicy with a garlic kick
Samourai is a spicy, creamy mayo-chili condiment with a garlic finish. It has more heat than Andalouse, but it is still a creamy sauce rather than a hot sauce, so it balances well with rich foods.
Best with: burgers, kebabs, wraps, fried chicken and grilled meats.

Best with: burgers, fries, grilled meats and sandwiches.
