Directions
This is a simple but still impressive homemade Wild Garlic Mayo that will delight anyone who tastes it! It’s a great, safe introduction to foraging too as Wild Garlic is pretty easy to identify. This no cook recipe will have you stuffing your pockets full every time you come across a bed of the green stuff.
For my Wild Garlic Mayo, I like to use the buds of the flowers. They’re a bit hotter and more garlicky.

TIP: I think this is an amazing making homemade mayonnaise but shop bought will also work if you add the garlic, mustard and lemon juice. |
