Recipe of Olive Mayonnaise
Vida Recetas Editorial
Olive mayonnaise is a versatile and flavorful sauce that combines the creaminess of classic mayonnaise with the salty, distinctive touch of black olives. Originating from Mediterranean cuisine, this variation has become popular for its ease of preparation and its ability to enhance any dish.
Ideal for accompanying meats, sandwiches, appetizers, or simply as a dip for vegetables, this recipe is ready in minutes with basic ingredients. The key is to emulsify eggs with a blend of oils (75% vegetable and 25% olive) to achieve a smooth texture. Then add pitted black olives, pepper, lemon juice, and chili, and process everything until smooth.
Its intense, slightly acidic flavor makes it a perfect complement for those looking to give a twist to their meals. Plus, it's a healthier option than commercial mayonnaises since you control the ingredients. If you like to experiment, you can adjust the amount of chili for a spicy kick or add fresh herbs like oregano or thyme.
