Mayonnaise with Lime - Lime Mayonnaise takes no time to make but adds a fresh bright flavor to any sandwich or wrap! I know that you're going to adore this lime mayo recipe.
Jump to:
Is there anything better than fresh citrus in the summertime? I just love any excuse to add a bit of lemon zest or lime zest to a dish, or a splash of fresh grapefruit juice to a cocktail.
This time, I'm adding fresh lime to the mayonnaise. Now, I know this might sound like an "interesting" combination, but I promise you'll love it. It might just end up being your new favorite condiment.
There's something quite satisfying about dressing up a store-bought mayo, which is usually made with egg yolks, oil, and either vinegar or lemon juice. This is so easy peasy that I almost can't call it a recipe!
🧂 Ingredients
You only need a few simple ingredients to make your own lime mayo.
- mayonnaise
- lime
- salt and pepper
- fresh cilantro. green onions, or parsley (optional)
I prefer parsley or green onions in this recipe simply because I don't care for the flavor of cilantro. However, if you are a fan, go for it! You can also omit the herbs if you want.
