Basil Mayo & How to Elevate a Sandwich to Food of the Gods

Ok, so I might be exaggerating a teensy, tiny bit when I say that this Basil Mayo will elevate a sandwich to food of the gods, but it IS really, really good! And it WILL upgrade your sandwich from blah to WOWZA! (Yes, it is worthy of the capitalization!) I mean, I like a nice sandwich spread as much as the next person, but I’m really not into preservatives and such. Which means that this easy Basil Mayo is a sandwich spread I can really sink my teeth into! (See what I did there? Tee hee!)

Basil Mayo is the easiest thing in the world to make. You really just need to mix up some chiffonaded basil with mayo and leave it for 12-24 hours to steep/marinate/blend/whatever. Waiting for it to be ready is the hardest part, honestly.

Just think…wouldn’t a nice homegrown tomato sandwich on some homemade white bread be really nice right now? But want to up it a notch? Use this Basil Mayo, and you will be making yourself a second sandwich even if you aren’t hungry, just because it tastes that good!

Personally, I use this mayo with everything! I didn’t grow up eating mayo on sandwiches, but basil mayo really does add a special something to a sandwich. I think it would be so delicious used in my Smashed Chickpea Salad! I like to use the thicker Belgian-style mayo (or homemade mayo, if I realllly want to go all purist and not have any stabilizers or preservatives or such) and serve it with homemade potato chips. Mmm…warm, salty chips, with cold basil mayo. It’s so, so good!
