Two wonderful members recommended that I look into this recipe and, let me tell you, it is amazing and will forever be part of our recipe book. I put it on sandwiches or your could use it as a dip with veggies, crackers, your finger...ANYTHING. This is absolutely worth a try if you still have basil left from last week!
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3-1/2 cup basil leaves, firmly packed (the more leaves you use, the stronger the basil flavor–I make it with 1/2 cup!)
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder (optional)
- dash of salt and pepper, or to taste (optional)
Put the mayonnaise, basil leaves, and lemon juice in a blender or small food processor; blend until smooth (you may still have some small bits of basil in the mayonnaise if using a blender). Add in garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste, if desired, and blend well. Use immediately or store in a small container for future use.
You can make a great sandwich by spreading 2 slices of bread with the basil mayonnaise, then topping one of the slices of bread with slices of tomatoes and some mozzarella cheese. Place the other bread slice on top, and cut in half.
If you like basil and pesto, you’ll want to try this out!
