Homemade Mayonnaise or store-bought mayonnaise
basil leaves, roughly chopped
thinly sliced chives
lemon zest plus 2 tsp. lemon juice
small clove garlic, grated
Kosher salt and pepper
To tall, wide-mouthed jar, add mayonnaise, basil, chives, lemon zest and juice, garlic, and 1/8 tsp each salt and pepper. Using immersion blender, blend until smooth and uniform in color. Keep refrigerated in airtight container up to 4 days.
Basil and chives lend fresh flavor and a beautiful green hue to mayo (all it takes is a quick blitz with an immersion blender!). Try tossing with chicken salad, dolloping on shrimp, or slathering on a BLT sandwich.
