This homemade herb mayonnaise is both quick to make and packed with flavour. You can make it with exactly the herbs you prefer – or better still, a mix of several for the greatest depth of flavour. Try dill, parsley, chives, chervil, tarragon, wild garlic or lovage – the possibilities are many.
The creamy herb mayo is perfect on smørrebrød (open-faced rye bread sandwiches) with plaice fillet, prawns or egg, in a sandwich, or as a dip for crisp fried potatoes. However you use it, it lifts your dishes with its fresh, aromatic flavour.
It also keeps well in the fridge for 3-4 days, so you can make it ahead and have it ready for several meals. An easy way to add a little extra flavour to your favourite dishes.

Ingredients
- 200 ml neutral-flavoured oil

Method
- Rinse the herbs thoroughly and pat them dry.
- Pour the oil into a blender with the herbs and blend on high speed until the oil is completely green.Let it run for a good 4-5 minutes. This warms the oil slightly, so it draws more flavour and colour out of the herbs.
- Put the egg yolks, lemon juice and Dijon mustard in a mini chopper or small blender and blitz briefly to combine. Then add the oil a little at a time, blending continuously, until all the oil has been used and the mayonnaise has thickened.
- Season the mayonnaise with salt and keep it in the fridge until serving – it keeps well for 3-4 days.

Super god urtemayo, nem at lave
Hejsa
Så dejligt at høre – tak:)
Warm wishes, Dianna
Fantastisk urtemayo – laver den i mange varianter afhængigt af hvad der er friskt i køkkenhaven.
Hej Julie
Åhhh tak for de søde ord, så dejligt at høre 🙂
Og man kan nemlig tilføje hvad som helst, så lækkert 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Jeg vil helst undgå urter i min mayonnaise men jeg prøvede den alligevel og den var så dårlig at jeg fik tynd mavse og så gav jeg det til min hund og den kastede op
Hej Malthe
Nu kan jeg se, at du sådan rater nogle af mine opskrifter dårligt med få minutters mellemrum, så jeg ved ikke hvor meget jeg lige skal tage mig af din besked – men vil da alligevel lige kommentere på din maveonde.
Det lyder som en meget vild reaktion på en smule urter i mayo. Så når du nu ikke kan lide urter i mayonnaise, så var det måske en idé at springe den over fra starten? 😉
Og en anden gang vil jeg absolut heller ikke anbefale at fodre din hund med mayonnaise (med eller uden urter), det har de ikke godt af 🙂
Håber du og vovsen er kommet jer over den forfærdlige mayonnaiseoplevelse 🙂
God bedring 🙂
