Notes
- In traditional aioli recipes, the olive oil and eggs are emulsified rather than using mayonnaise. An emulsifier is used to hold two things that don't usually go together, like oil and vinegar, and is commonly used in salad dressings to prevent them from separating. Using mayonnaise in this aioli recipe is a way to make it quick and more accessible for busy families which is why we use it here.
- Vegan mayonnaise is easily accessible these days and a great swap to make this vegan or egg free for those with allergies.
