🧄 Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise (full-fat for best flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced (or 1 tsp garlic paste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

🍴 Methods (How to Use This Spread)

📜 History & Inspiration

Creamy sandwich spreads trace their roots back to European aioli and American deli sauces. Over time, cooks began blending mayonnaise with herbs, garlic, and acid to create versatile sauces that worked beyond sandwiches. This recipe is inspired by classic deli spreads and Mediterranean garlic sauces — simple ingredients, big flavor, endless uses.


🧪 Formation (Why This Works)

  • Fat (mayo & olive oil) carries flavor and adds richness
  • Acid (lemon & mustard) balances heaviness
  • Garlic & herbs provide depth and freshness
  • Resting time allows flavors to meld beautifully

The result is a smooth, bold, perfectly balanced spread.
