Additional Comments:
Traditionally we have basil, garlic, olive oil, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese. Nice, but let's veer of the beaten path. Cilantro, dill, oregano, mint and fennel all make delightful a pesto sauce. See our recipes for Asian Pesto, Santa Fe Pesto, Dill Pesto, and Fennel Pesto.

Ingredients

  • 2 red bell peppers
  • 1 c Mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice

Instructions

  • Puree in a food processor or blender.
  • Mix pureed peppers into the mayonnaise.
  • Add the salt, pepper and lemon juice.

Notes

This keeps well in the refrigerator.
