Lime Aioli Sauce

This Lime Aioli Sauce is creamy and loaded with flavors from fresh lime juice, cilantro, garlic, avocado and more. This Cilantro Lime Aioli is amazing for drizzling over tacos, chicken, nachos, sandwiches and on fish, like this Blackened Mahi Mahi Recipe. Plus, it's ready in only 5 minutes!

This is hands down one of the most flavorful sauces I've made in a while. It comes together in minutes and tastes good on everything. I can even eat it by the spoonful.

Lime aioli is a must make for taco night or these Blackstone Fajitas. It's also amazing to dunk these pan seared shrimp into or drizzle over this Chili Lime Salmon.

One of the best things is that you can keep this in the fridge for a few days and use it for all sorts of recipes. Make double if you need to and store in a glass jar in the fridge for a quick flavor boost.

Ingredients:

Lime Juice: Lime juice and zest are the star of this recipe. I highly recommend fresh lime juice for this recipe. Don't use the bottled stuff, as it doesn't taste as good.

Mayonnaise: The creamy base that makes aioli thick and rich. I suggest Hellmann's mayonnaise for this recipe, but you can choose your favorite brand.

Avocado: Used to bring in more green color and adds a nice, thick texture along with the mayo.

Cilantro: Adds a fresh taste and pairs really well with citrus.

Jalapeño and Fresh Garlic: Brought into the mix for spice.

Seasoning: Salt, cumin and chili powder bring in a depth of flavors.

See the recipe card below for the full list of ingredients and quantities.

Substitutions and Variations:

If you can't tolerate cilantro, leave it out.

Want the aioli more spicy? Double up the jalapeño or add in more seeds. I like using more jalapeño versus adding hot sauce to keep the color really green.

Do not use imitation lime juice for this recipe. Fresh is best!

A blender can be used in place of the food processor if you don't have one.

How to Make Lime Aioli Sauce:

Expert Tips:

• If you're sensitive to spice, be sure to remove the seeds and membranes of the jalapeño.
• If the mixture is having a hard time blending, add in 1 tablespoon of water to make it easier to mix.
