- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil

Instructions
Begin by thoroughly washing the fresh basil leaves to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside for use.
In a food processor, combine the basil leaves, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic cloves, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Pulse the ingredients in the food processor for 10-15 seconds, scraping down the sides as needed, until everything is well combined and a smooth pesto paste forms.
Transfer the basil pesto to a mixing bowl.
Add the mayonnaise to the bowl with the pesto and stir together using a spatula or spoon until the mixture is well-blended and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
Transfer the Nut-Free Basil Pesto Mayo to a jar or an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Serve as a spread for sandwiches, wraps, or burgers, or use as a dip for veggies or chips.
