Ketchup. Mayo. Mustard. All flavorful, all delicious, all obvious. While we can’t say we would turn down the chance to dip our French fries in any of the well-known condiments, we can say that there’s a refreshing, versatile and unexpected dipping sauce that’s making its way to the top of our dipping list – and that’s aioli.
The Mediterranean sauce is super popular throughout Oceania and Southern Europe. Typically made up of garlic, olive oil and eggs, aioli has taken a modern twist in recent years with more and more recipes popping up that incorporate a whole plethora of delicious herbs and spices.
Here are five of our favorite aioli recipes that bring a fresh and unique approach to dipping:
