Quick Lime Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise with Lime—This lime Mayonnaise takes no time to make but adds a fresh, bright flavor to any sandwich or wrap! I know that you’ll adore this lime mayo recipe.
Is there anything better than fresh citrus in the summertime? I love any excuse to add a bit of lemon 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!

This is meant to be a brief overview of the lime mayonnaise recipe. Please scroll down to the teal box below for step-by-step instructions and a full printable recipe card with ingredients.
- 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.
Variations –
Here are a couple ways to make this recipe your own:
- Add a minced garlic clove or grated fresh ginger for extra flavor.
- A dash or two of hot sauce adds a little bit of heat.
For Chipotle Lime Mayo – Stir in 1/2 teaspoon dried chipotle powder, or add 1-2 chipote peppers in adobo sauce to your food processor and combine with the mayo, lime juice and zest, and herbs. Pulse to incorporate.
Storage
Be sure to cover and refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container. It will last for up to 1 week. (These are my favorite airtight containers.)
Serving Suggestions
Lime mayo is a great addition not only to sandwiches and wraps but also to potato and pasta salads or even cole slaw! Try it with tuna or egg salad, too. It’s fantastic with burgers and great for dipping french fries.
