Preparing mayonnaise perhaps (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dressing

I believe this is a double definition.

'preparing' is the first definition.
(dressing is a kind of preparing)

'mayonnaise perhaps' is the second definition.
(mayonnaise is a kind of dressing)

(Other definitions for dressing that I've seen before include "Sauce - protection for wound" , "Sauce - alignment - bandage" , "Compress" , "Sauce for salads" , "French or vinaigrette, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
