Ingredients

  • 1 cup 230 grams full fat mayo
  • 3-4 tablespoons homemade basil pesto
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice or to taste

Instructions

  • In a small bowl mix together mayo and pesto. Add in the lemon juice and stir to combine.

Notes

Storage: Store this pesto mayo in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
Mayo: We recommend a full fat mayo ( Del Monte, Heinz, Cremica or Hellman's).  Use high quality brand as mayo is one of the key ingredients.
Pesto: Homemade pesto will work best for this recipe. But you can use high quality store-bought pesto if desired.
