Lime Aioli - Molho de Limão e Alho

Lime Aioli, or Molho de Limão e Alho in Portuguese, is divine! As if a creamy garlicky aioli wasn't already good enough, adding lime zest and juice just takes it completely over the top. The lime brings bright, fresh, and tangy flavor that pairs so perfectly with the sharper garlic. Then everything is mellowed out beautifully with mayonnaise. It's great for topping meat, dipping fried foods into, adding to a sandwich, and so much more!

  1. Mince the garlic. Zest the lime. After zesting, cut the lime in half.
  2. Add the mayonnaise to a mixing bowl. Add the minced garlic, lime zest, and juice from half of the lime. Mix and taste. If you love lime, add the juice from the second half (I did!). Taste for seasoning and add salt and black pepper to taste.
