While traditional aioli is a combination of oil, egg yolks, garlic, lemon, and I believe mustard, my cheater's aioli is mayonnaise based and super simple. Fresh pesto gives the aioli this gorgeous green colour, along with lemon, garlic, and fresh basil. Spread or dip to your heart's content <3

If you're making my Pesto recipe from scratch, do so as the first step. If you're using a store-bought pesto, move on to the next step.
Add everything to a mixing bowl and whisk together until creamy and combined. Taste and adjust the salt, pepper, or lemon to your liking. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes before using.
This aioli will keep in the fridge for 7ish days approximately. Use as a spread on sandwiches or burgers, or as a dip for fries or crispy, fresh veggies. ENJOY!
