Reader comment: "This is a great sauce to go on fish, burgers, and nuggets. Love this sauce."

Ingredient notes:

Aioli was originally an emulsion of just olive oil and garlic. Over time, the definition of the sauce has broadened and it now includes flavored garlic mayonnaise sauces.

  • Sweet chili sauce is a sweet, sour and garlicky sauce that is sold in bottles in most grocery stores. It's made from chili peppers but, unlike hot sauce or Sriracha, it's mostly sweet and not very spicy at all.

    Just made this for a ham and cheese sandwich and it is delicious. What is the shelf life if in an airtight container and in the fridge?

      I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed it, Roberta! As for the shelf life, I would consume the aioli within 3 to 5 days.

      All the best,
