You are going to love this Basil Mayonnaise!

Basil is one of my favorite fresh herbs. I grow several plants in my garden every summer. I love adding fresh basil to pastas and salads. I also make a ton of pesto and when I still have an abundance I make this flavored mayonnaise.

It is quick and easy and adds a wonderful flavor to any sandwich, wrap or could even be used to make a salad dressing. It would be perfect in these turkey wraps!

My daughter loves this on her sandwiches during the summer time. We make it every chance we get.

Can I use other herbs?

Yes, you could use fresh thyme, cilantro or chives in place of the fresh basil.
