Quick and Easy Basil Mayonnaise

If you’re looking to put your harvested basil to good use, today’s recipe is an excellent way to do so. Inspired by Ina Garten’s Basil Mayonnaise recipe, this quick and easy version uses just a few key ingredients, all of which are everyday cooking staples.With just a few pulses in your food processor, you will have a tasty condiment that is perfect for any sandwich. My personal recommendations are for a tomato and fresh mozzarella sandwich, a chicken cutlet hoagie or a juicy BLT. And don’t forget to use the good, crusty bread!
