What's in chimichurri aioli?

Aioli started out as an emulsion of olive oil and garlic but over time evolved to include flavored garlic mayonnaise sauces, such as this one.

This aioli is made with traditional chimichurri ingredients plus mayonnaise and fresh tomato.

How to use it:

This aioli is great with grilled meat and seafood, on beef or chicken burgers or even on pizza. We also love it on sandwiches. (Another favorite sandwich spread of ours is this lemon dill mayonnaise sauce for smoked salmon sandwiches.)

How to store it:

Store the sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day.

How spicy is this aioli?

This aioli is quite spicy. Use half the amount of crushed red pepper flakes for a less spicy sauce.
