Adding fresh basil to mayo boosts the creamy richness of the condiment, making for a tastier ingredient that can be swapped with plain mayo in any recipe.
Blender being used
To make your own basil mayo, mix ½ cup to two cups of fresh basil leaves (depending on how intense you want the basil flavor) with one cup of mayo in a blender or food processor.

You can also chop the basil by hand and mix it into the mayo for more texture. Store your basil mayo in an airtight container in the fridge, and be sure to use it within one week.
