Background

Home-made mayonnaise tastes so much better than anything we buy in the shops, and it's really not that difficult to make. This basil mayonnaise, or aioli, is a tasty Italian version that is a wonderful dip for crudités. Mix it with crème fraîche, Greek yoghurt or sour cream to create a lighter sauce - this can be poured over grilled meat or fish or used as a dressing on top of salads and boiled vegetables!
