I was looking for a lime aioli to top nachos(I’m trying to recreate a recipe from a local pub) this was great! I did leave out the chili powder as I wanted the lime flavour to really shine.I added all the other listed ingredients and the juice of half a lime instead of a teaspoon as listed.This was so limey and good thanks for a great recipe I know I’ll use again!

This was so amazing that BOTH of my (adult) kids fought to scrape the bowl. I make sweet potato fries and have been experimenting with different dip recipes until I found this one. They also used it on the coconut shrimp
