Lemon Cumin Mayonnaise Recipes

CREAMY LEMON SALAD DRESSING

Steps:

• In a medium-sized bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, maple syrup and finely ground black pepper. Mix or whisk well, to fully blend ingredients.
• Add mayonnaise to blended salad dressing. Whisk salad dressing well, until smooth.
• Place salad dressing in an airtight, covered container and refrigerate until ready to serve. The longer salad dressing is refrigerated, the better the flavors can develop.
• Right before using, give the salad dressing a good stir or shake to re-mix ingredients.
• Enjoy this delicious salad dressing!

LEMON-CUMIN CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper flakes until smooth. Add the chicken and toss until coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. (Can also be made in a resealable plastic bag.)
• For the pesto: In a food processor, blend the mint, spinach, cheese, walnuts, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper until chunky. With the machine running, slowly add the olive oil until smooth.
• Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Spray the grill lightly with vegetable oil cooking spray. Remove the chicken from the marinade. Discard the marinade. Grill the chicken until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Place on a platter and serve with the pesto.

LEMON MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Whisk together the mayonnaise, zest, and juice in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. The lemon mayonnaise can be prepared 1 day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.

ROMAINE SALAD WITH LEMON-CUMIN DRESSING

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, cumin, salt and pepper. Very slowly whisk in the oil. Place the lettuce in a large salad bowl and toss with the dressing.

LEMON MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, mustard and a little salt. Whisk in the olive oil, a few drops at a time at first, then pour it in a steady thin stream, while continuing to whisk. Stir in the rest of the lemon juice, and adjust the salt to taste.

FOOLPROOF LEMON-GARLIC MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• In small food processor or container of an immersion blender, combine garlic, anchovies, egg yolk and mustard. With machine running, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons olive oil and process until mixture is smooth and starts to thicken, about 2 minutes.
• With machine still running, slowly add remaining olive oil, lemon juice and 1 teaspoon very hot water. (A small splash from the kettle or tap is the right amount.) Process just until mixture reaches a loose mayonnaise consistency. If it curdles or becomes too thick, mix in more hot water a little at a time, pulsing machine so as not to overmix. Taste and adjust seasoning with more lemon juice, salt or pepper. Serve immediately, using a spoon to drizzle over salad, or cover and refrigerate up to 8 hours. Best served fresh, but keeps 2 days.
