Ingredients

4-6 servings
  • 1/2 cup packed fresh basil
  • 1 small bunch of fresh chives (can sub green onions)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional, but very good)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 cup mayo (more as needed to keep it creamy)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1–2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt, to taste (add this at the end, after you taste it so you can see if you actually want it or not – I always do, but I love salt!)

Preparation

Chef’s notes

Taste and adjust! More lemon juice will wake it up, Parmesan adds more umami and saltiness, and if it gets too salty for you, add a bit more mayo to dilute the pungency a bit!
