Salsa Aioli is a simple mayonnaise based condiment or dipping sauce . It is made with just 4 ingredients + kosher salt and comes together in about 5 minutes! It is particularly delicious slathered on these Grilled Chorizo Burgers!
Ingredient Details
Mayonnaise โ mayo is the base of any "lazy" aioli. Traditional aioli starts by making a mayo from egg yolk and oil. But we are taking the shortcut of using store bought mayo. I like Hellmannโs Mayo as well as the Aldi brand mayo.
Salsa โ any salsa or pico de gallo that you like will work here. You are just adding a little tomato salsa flavor to the aioli. You will want to lightly drain some of the juice from the salsa through a fine mesh sieve so it doesnโt water down the aioli.
Lime Juice โ fresh lime juice adds a citrus tang that goes so well with the creamy mayo.
Garlic โ 1 raw garlic clove minced up and stirred in adds a punch of flavor.
Kosher Salt โ enhances all the flavors.
Using Salsa Aioli
Use this aioli anywhere you want a creamy sauce that has a salsa kick. It is perfect on this Grilled Chorizo Burger with Grilled Poblano Peppers!! We also love it on tacos, like these Tilapia Tacos and Steak Tacos. It is a great dip for fries too!
Add it on a grilled chicken sandwich with some avocado and pepper jack cheese!
