This one is a spin on the classic. It caught me off guard because I kept finding myself on automatic pilot grabbing the standard pesto ingredients and then realizing, they do NOT belong in this recipe. If you want to be a stickler I don’t think this is technically considered pesto but I’ll do anything to get the smell of fresh basil in my kitchen.

Grandma Joyce liked to keep things simple in a classic kind of way. She wasn’t fussy and she didn’t leave room for much fluff. I love that about her because her recipes aren’t full of tedious, unnecessary steps.

I was a bit skeptical but I followed the recipe as it was written. Maybe Grandma Mary knows something about mayonnaise that I don’t. Nope. What I discovered is that quite possibly she and other women in the 60s might just appreciate it more than we do nowadays.
