We have a lush Basil plant growing in our little garden. I always make use of the sprigs to spice up the pasta or use them in the regular mayonnaise which I make at home. Believe me, you will never again buy those store packed, heavily priced Mayonnaise. It is not only tasty but so easy to make in a jiffy. I usually make a very small quantity and store them for a week in the fridge. It does not last longer than that in our house.
Ingredients:
3-4 tbsp of cream cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Basil leaves finely chopped - a few sprigs (If you dont have the fresh ones, you could either skip this or you could use the instant dried basil herb from the store)
Yogurt - 1 tbsp
Method :
Blend in all the above ingredients till smooth and creamy.
Go ahead and dress up you salad with this yummy mayonnaise.
Today I made a tortilla roll with some leftover re fried beans and drizzled a few spoons of this mayonnaise on top. It was so good.
You could enjoy them with burgers, sandwiches and salads. The options are endless.
Enjoy!!!!
