Empty Recipe ★ Chef John's Empty Mayo Jar Dressing

When you're down to that empty jar of mayonnaise, don't scrape and scrape and scrape or just toss it out and open a new one. There's a better way: just use the jar to make a dressing.

Ingredients

• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
• ½ cup white wine vinegar
• 1 cup olive oil
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
• 1 pinch herbes de Provence
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, or more to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Place garlic, parsley, thyme, chives, white wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and herbes de Provence into a nearly empty mayonnaise jar containing at least 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise.
2. Cover mayonnaise jar with lid and shake vigorously until mayonnaise combines with dressing ingredients to make a creamy dressing, about 2 minutes. Pour into a serving dish.
