Notes

If you're making your own mayonnaise from scratch, you can add the pesto directly to the jar with the egg yolk, mustard, and other ingredients before blending. This way, you’ll have a smooth, perfectly blended pesto mayo with no extra steps!
I used my homemade pistachio pesto for this recipe.
