Dill Aioli

The name aioli is often interchanged on menus with the word mayo or mayonnaise, but in truth, aioli is a special variety of mayonnaise that always includes garlic and is made a special way. Either way, both aioli and mayo can come in a wide range of flavors and they are both delicious. Composed of an egg and oil emulsion, it forms a very thick, rich condiment that pairs well with anything from fish to fries to chicken and pasta dishes.
To make the dill aioli, there are a few methods;

  1. Start with a store-bought mayonnaise and stir in finely chopped dill and freshly squeezed lime juice.
  2. Make your own aioli, adding in the finely chopped dill at the beginning with the egg/garlic and the lime juice towards the end. This makes a really delicious aioli with a vibrant green color.
  3. Make your own aioli, but stir in finely chopped dill and freshly squeezed lime juice at the end.
