Jump to Recipe This scallion aioli is super simple to make and full of flavor at the same time. Rather than adding fresh scallions, I decided to fry them to give the sauce an intense, charred onion flavor. Smoked hot paprika adds a little bit of heat and a smoky flavor that goes well with the fried scallions.
Recipe ingredients and notes:
- Scallions are the same as green onions. You need only the green tops for this recipe.
- You can use vegetable oil (including avocado oil) or a mild olive oil for this recipe.
How to make it:
See full ingredient amounts and instructions in the recipe card below!
- Slice and chop scallion greens.
- Heat oil in a non-stick or cast iron pan and fry chopped scallion greens. Let cool a bit.
- Add mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic and paprika to a bowl.
- Add fried scallions and whisk until smooth.
How to use it:
This aioli makes an excellent meatball dipping sauce and is also great with grilled shrimp. You can also spread it on sandwiches and chicken or beef burgers. Or use it as a dip for French fries or potato chips!
