Lime aioli is a versatile and tangy sauce that can elevate a variety of dishes, from seafood to vegetables to sandwiches. This easy-to-make condiment combines the zesty flavor of lime with creamy mayonnaise and fragrant garlic, creating a delightful balance of flavors that will impress your taste buds.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by peeling the garlic cloves.
- Finely mince the garlic cloves and set them aside. If you prefer a smoother aioli, you can also use a garlic press to crush the garlic.
- Using a microplane or fine grater, zest the lime until you have 1 tablespoon of zest. Be careful to only zest the green outer layer, avoiding the bitter white pith underneath.
- Cut the lime in half and squeeze out 2 tablespoons of lime juice. You can use a citrus juicer to make this easier. Ensure there are no seeds in the juice.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the cup of mayonnaise.
- Add the lime zest, lime juice, and minced garlic to the bowl with the mayonnaise.
- Use a whisk or a spoon to thoroughly combine all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and uniform. Make sure the garlic and lime zest are evenly distributed throughout the aioli.
- Taste the aioli. If you prefer more tanginess, you can add a bit more lime juice. If you desire a bit more zestiness, add a bit more lime zest. Mix any additional ingredients thoroughly.
- For best results, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the aioli to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Your lime aioli is now ready to use! Serve it as a dip, spread, or sauce with your favorite dishes. It pairs wonderfully with seafood, grilled vegetables, sandwiches, or as a condiment for fries.
Tips:
- For a smoother texture, finely mince or grate the garlic cloves before mixing.
- Adjust the lime juice to taste if you prefer a tangier aioli.
- For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Allow the aioli to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
- This aioli can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Lime aioli is a simple yet sophisticated condiment that can transform your meals with its vibrant and refreshing flavor. By following these tips and using fresh ingredients, you'll create a delicious sauce that will become a staple in your kitchen.
