Allow the sauce to rest for at least 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully before serving. This allows the rosemary to fully infuse the mayonnaise and the harissa to bloom. (5 minutes)
For a smokier flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika.
If you don't have fresh rosemary, dried rosemary can be substituted; use 1 teaspoon and allow the sauce to sit for at least 15 minutes for the flavors to fully develop.
Feel free to experiment with other herbs like thyme or parsley.
Taste and adjust the seasoning. Add a pinch of salt or a squeeze of lemon juice, if needed.
