Why This Recipe Works

Our Garden Herb Mayonnaise recipe comes together quickly and can be used as a sauce for fish or chicken, a spread for sandwiches, or a cooling dip for our sweet potato fries. Refrigerating our flavored mayonnaise for at least 30 minutes allowed the flavors to blend and develop. When we added fresh herbs, we made sure to use only small amounts of potent herbs like sage.
