Green mayonnaise
4 servings
15 minutes
Green mayonnaise is an original sauce with a refreshing taste and a tangy zest that will enhance any dish. Its history is linked to culinary experiments where classic mayonnaise is enriched with fresh herbs and gourmet additions. This version contains parsley, capers, and gherkins, creating a refined balance of flavors. Its creamy consistency makes it an ideal complement to meat, fish, or vegetables, while the light tang of lemon adds freshness. It is especially good for grilled dishes where its rich aroma and herbal notes are fully revealed. The green color of the sauce not only pleases the eye but also emphasizes its naturalness and benefits. Store it in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and flavor intensity.
