How to Make Basil Pesto Mayonnaise

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Using a fork or whisk, thoroughly mix all ingredients until well combined and the pesto is evenly distributed throughout the mayonnaise.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours, to allow the flavors to fully develop. The longer it sits, the tastier it becomes!
  4. Once chilled, your Basil Pesto Mayonnaise is ready to enjoy! Spread it on sandwiches, use it as a marinade for chicken, or serve it as a delightful dip with your favorite chips or vegetables.
