Ingredients

4 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!)

Steps

Place all your sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor. (I use this mini chopper for the vast majority of my sauces because it’s nice and compact!)
Blend until you get your desired consistency – I usually go for an almost-completely-smooth texture that is flecked with small bits of herbs.
