"Sometimes, I'll glance at a recipe's ingredients and just know, in my heart, that it's going to taste amazing. That's exactly how I felt the first time I laid eyes on the Barefoot Contessa's tomato sandwich recipe. Traditionally, this kind of sandwich only has a few ingredients: two slices of bread, some tomatoes, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Ina Garten's recipe, however, kicks the sandwich up a notch with a mayo that has a large cast of flavors, including basil."
"After buying a loaf of bread and some heirloom tomatoes, I was ready to give this recipe a try. First, I measured out a cup of my go-to mayonnaise and put it into a bowl. Next, I chopped the basil. The recipe calls for 10 to 15 basil leaves; I love the flavor, so I chopped 15. I also measured out and added the kosher salt, olive oil, ground black pepper, lemon juice, and minced garlic."
A basil mayonnaise made from mayonnaise, kosher salt, black pepper, basil leaves, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil elevates a basic tomato sandwich. Preparation includes measuring a cup of mayonnaise, chopping 10–15 basil leaves, and adding kosher salt, olive oil, ground black pepper, lemon juice, and minced garlic. A small whisk works well to combine the thick mixture. The basil mayo is spread on bread before layering slices of juicy heirloom tomatoes, producing a refreshing, savory sandwich. The mayo can also be used on other sandwiches or as a dip; use less salt next time.
