About

This is, to my taste, the ideal sauce for barbecued salmon. You can leave out the garlic if you prefer. Dill is one of my favourite flavours. (Garlic, basil, coffee, chocolate, lemon and vanilla are the others!)

Method

Put the mayonnaise ingredients – save for the oil, vinegar, dill and tomatoes – into a food processor and blend until smooth. Continue blending and add the oil, drop by drop at first. When the mayonnaise is thick and smooth add the rest of the oil in a slow trickle, still blending. Then add the wine vinegar and stir in the dill and chopped tomatoes to serve.
