What each ingredient does

Parsley
Gives the sauce its green colour and a fresh herb flavour.

The step that matters

Rubbing the parsley to a fine paste. Parsley chopped very fine and worked into a paste disperses evenly through the mayonnaise, so the colour and flavour spread without visible flecks.
