Season: Any
Difficulty: Medium Difficulty

Mayonnaise is rarely associated with Italian cuisine by Americans.  In fact, the Italians use mayonnaise a lot in everything from panini, little sandwiches, to this salsa gremolada, which is a perfectly fine accompaniment to grilled fish, as long as you use it in moderation.  Make sure the parsley is completely dry before you chop it.
