A Flavored Mayonnaise Recipe For Sandwiches

Forget about making just a regular sandwich for a minute. Sure its easy to just open up a jar of mayo and make a quick sandwich. But it’s just as easy to make that sandwich even better by making some of this Garlic Basil Mayonnaise.

I’m usually a non-condiment user. That might be a little surprising with all the recipes that are on here…but if you handed me a cheeseburger most of the time I eat it as is. No ketchup or mustard. Just the burger and the bun.

Unless it’s a cooking day and I’m eating whatever we just cooked up for lunch or dinner. Then I’m eating all the condiments, all the sauces, everything just like you see it in the picture.

And I always say the same thing after I take a bite. “Wow, the sauce really makes this.” Or the mayo we made or the topping we put on something. It always tastes so much better than having something plain. But then I go back. Back to no condiment eating. I’m not really sure why…I just do.

Until I made this. This was the condiment that changed my condiment thinking. Turkey sandwich, grilled chicken, roast beef – anything you’d normally just put regular mayo on is now going to be a lot better.

    Check the salt content of your mayo before you add the salt to this. I stopped using the Hellman’s because it was so salty, now using Duke’s-cheaper and less salt, so better in recipes and on my sandwiches!

    Made this to go on a BLT. Very good. Did cut the salt in half and was happy with how it turned out! Will be making this again!
