Simple Pesto Mayonnaise Recipes

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

Pesto is a mouthful of bright summer - basil made more so. You can buy it in a jar or in the refrigerator section of your grocery story, but there is nothing better than making it yourself. Fresh basil can be found in abundance at farmers' markets in the summer. Just clean, take the stems off and throw the leaves in a food processor with nuts and garlic. Dribble in the oil and you've got a versatile sauce for pasta, chicken or fish.
