Prep Time 6 minutes
Total Time 6 minutes
Course Condiment
Cuisine American
Method Food Processor
Servings 1 pint

Ingredients
 

  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • pinch kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup olive oil, extra virgin
  • 1 cup Simply Delicious Classic Fresh Basil Pesto, you can use your favorite pesto

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor, puree the egg yolk, lemon juice, mustard and salt. Once you have a very smooth mixture, very slowly drizzle the olive oil in while the food processor is still running. VERY SLOWLY!
  • You will notice the mayo thickening as you add more oil. When you are done adding the oil the mayo will be thick and delicious! If it is not thick, add more oil 1/8 teaspoon at a time until desired thickness is reached. If your mayo is too thick for your taste, add water 1/8 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  • In a medium bowl combine pesto and mayonnaise, stir until creamy. Pour into a resealable container. I use a pint mason jar. This recipe doubles perfectly!
  • Enjoy!

  1. This sounds delicious and I can think of lots of ways it can be used. Have a wonderful day. Blessings…Mary

  2. Oh this sounds so delicious – and so perfect as I am overgrown with basil in the garden – lovely!

  3. This would go great on a thin sliced flank steak sandwich. If flank steak weren't ridiculously overpriced right now. Maybe flat iron instead. Great post.

  4. This sounds awesome! I just made fresh pesto yesterday so this is perfect timing to try this recipe.

  5. I tried this recipe twice, once in my kitchen aid and once in my Ninja blender. It did not work and now I have wasted 1 cup of my good olive oil. The amounts seemed off so I should have used my judgement.
