Mayonnaise With A Fresh Herb Touch

Mayonnaise With A Fresh Herb Touch

A grandmother in Germany I knew many years ago gave this herb mayonnaise recipe to me. She just happened to have the ingredients at hand at the time and she never forgot it, hence the rough guide in quantities given. She had medium sized hands!

The use of mint, parsley and coriander make an excellent combination for added to a mayonnaise mix. It can make a refreshing change to ordinary mayonnaise and can be used in the same way, i.e. in sandwiches, salads, egg, pototoes (as pictured) and with many types of meat. It also makes mayonnaise feel a bit healthier although it doesn’t ‘t make that much difference to the main oil content in mayonnaise.

Ingredients:

  • · 1 handful fresh mint leaves
  • · 1 handful fresh coriander
  • · 1 handful fresh parsley leaves
  • · A Pinch of chilli pepper
  • · 1 medium onion chopped finely
  • · 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • · 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

Method:

Mix all the ingredients expect the vinegar and mayonnaise in a food processor Process until minced. Then add the vinegar and mayonnaise and mix by hand until mixed in thoroughly. Serve straight away.

It will keep if refrigerated for up to 5 days if in an airtight container.

This sounds wonderful! I've never given much thought to flavoring mayonnaise. Thank you for sharing.

This sounds very delicious and refreshing! Not to mention healthy since parsley has quite a lot of healing properties (eg. for the eyes and the liver).

I'm not too into hot stuff though, is the chilli pepper overpowering in this dish or not at all? :)
