Basil mayo is a creamy condiment blending traditional mayonnaise with fresh basil. Typically composed of egg yolks, oil, vinegar or lemon juice, and a pinch of salt, the addition of basil brings an aromatic, herbaceous twist to the mixture. This versatile spread is rooted in Mediterranean cuisine, where basil’s fragrant profile is celebrated as a staple herb. Rich in healthy fats from the oil and containing some vitamin K and naturally occurring antioxidants from the basil, basil mayo can offer minor nutritional perks. However, its high calorie and fat content, common in all mayonnaise varieties, should be consumed in moderation, particularly if monitoring fat intake. Perfect as a dip, sandwich spread, or salad topper, basil mayo adds a burst of flavor to enhance various dishes but is best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.
