SIMPLE PESTO MAYONNAISE



Simple Pesto Mayonnaise image

I first tried Pesto mayonnaise when we were at our granddaughter's ski meet. She had a sandwich with it on it--delicious. When I got home I got some fresh basil and made some Pesto so we could have the mayonnaise. Lots of work. One day I wanted some and didn't have fresh basil--guess what? This is a yummy substitute and you can have it anytime, and it is so easy and takes only a couple of minutes. I only make enough for a few sandwiches; then make again next time.

OK, I know that nutritionally, mayonnaise isn't good for me, but I love it! Especially flavored mayonnaises (recipe#311767, recipe#311769, recipe#309836). This is great on sandwiches in place of regular mayonnaise. Or use it as a topping for chicken sandwiches, burgers, or recipe#308538

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 2

2/3 cup mayonnaise
4 tablespoons prepared basil pesto

Steps:

  • Combine mayonnaise and pesto.
  • Enjoy on your favorite sandwich or burger!

Tips:

  • Use fresh basil for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Use a food processor or blender to make the pesto. This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture.
  • If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can make the pesto by hand. Simply chop the basil, garlic, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese until they are finely minced.
  • Add the pesto to the mayonnaise and stir until well combined.
  • Use the pesto mayonnaise as a sandwich spread, dip for vegetables or crackers, or as a dressing for salads.

Conclusion:

Pesto mayonnaise is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It is easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. So next time you are looking for a new way to add flavor to your favorite dishes, give pesto mayonnaise a try!
