Description

A delicious pesto mayo drizzle sauce perfect for drizzling over pizza. Made with fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, mayonnaise, and lemon juice in under 5 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1/8 cup pine nuts
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/8 cup olive oil
  • a handful of fresh basil
  • a pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Add all the ingredients to a blender, and pulse until smooth. Do not over-blend, the sauce is meant to have a slightly chunky consistency.
  2. Serve fresh over pizza. Store leftovers in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

  • If you want a thicker sauce that it better for dipping into (potatoes, crust), remove the olive oil.
  • You can warm this sauce up for 15-20 seconds in the microwave before drizzling on pizza if you prefer.
  • When left to sit, the sauce will settle and separate slightly. Stir the pesto drizzle sauce well before serving.
