I have a new favorite topping for hot dogs and hamburgers, as well as a dip for veggies and cheese sticks! My green onion mayo is very versatile & low carb!
First a little history to why I have a ton of dried green onion in my house... Green onions are super way to regrow! Just buy them at the store, being them home, and cut off most of the green part. Now, stick the whites (I leave them banded together) into a juice glass, 3 bunches for into my small drinking glasses (a juice glass), with enough water to cover the bulb parts. Then just stick them in a sunny window and watch! I get about 1/2" of growth every day!
Back to the cut green parts, snip them up and put them on a foil lined cookie sheet in an oven set to 200-250 degrees and keep an eye on them while they dry/bake/roast. When they are all dry, pull the sheet out to cool. While drying some of the onions will turn brown and get a yummy roasted flavor to them as well! I cut and dry all the green onion tops as they get big, minus what I use fresh. I can get 3 full growths out of a bunch before the onion flavor gets extremely strong (at which point, the whole kitchen is usually smelling like onions as well). After 3 sets of onions bunches, I have cups of dried onion all over my kitchen! This "recipe" was born from a need to use some of the dried onion up before I was over run!
On to the recipe!
Green Onion Mayonnaise
1 cup mayonnaise
4 Tablespoons (1/4 cup) Dried Green Onion
1 Tablespoon Dried Parsley (or 3-4 Tablespoons fresh)
Combine all ingredients and place in an airtight container in the fridge!
Sometimes, the dried onion turn the mayo brown...it looks unappealing, but tastes amazing still! Also, I like it really "oniony", so maybe start out with less onion and adjust it to your own tastes. And, the Parsley just adds color, it can be left out all together if you don't feel like adding it (or are running out/low).
