Happy 4th of July weekend!
If you happened to see my blog from yesterday, I mentioned a delicious fresh herb homemade mayonnaise that we served with salmon at our granddaughter’s birthday party. If you happen to be grilling salmon or other fish, or hamburgers for the holiday, this is the perfect sauce to serve with them. It has lemon, Dijon mustard, fresh basil, dill, and parsley with a touch of cayenne.
Look at all those wonderful fresh herbs!
It will keep fresh for several days, and with any leftovers, you can use it for tuna salad, chicken salad, pasta salad, or potato salad. I can’t tell you enough how good it is and easy to make.
Fresh Herb Mayonnaise
Ingredients
- 2 eggs

- 3 Tablespoons packed minced fresh dill
- 2 Tablespoons packed minced fresh parsley
- 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice

- ⅛ teaspoon table salt

Instructions
- Place all ingredients except for oil in a blender. Process until well blended. With machine running, gradually add oil through the feed tube in a steady, slow stream. Blend well.

What magazine is this from? I couldn’t find it in Cuisine May, June, or July. I like to put it in my magazine index. thank you. Wendy
Wendy, I actually don’t remember where I found this recipe. It’s been in my card file for a long time and I’ve made it endless times. If I figure it out, I’ll let you know.
Hi, is it yellow eggs we have to use ? Or use the whole eggs?
Sara, use the whole eggs.
