Notes
- Be sure to blend all of the ingredients really well before adding the oil so that the eggs can emulsify.
- When adding the oil, this recipe works best when it's added in a continuous slow steady stream while the blender or processor is running.
- Once it's done, give it a taste and adjust any ingredients (i.e. add more salt), if needed.
- This chipotle aioli sauce can be used for a variety of things. Like I said before, you can slather it onto a burger or dip fries in it. It also goes well with sandwiches, chicken tenders, and fish sticks if you’re looking for even more ways to enjoy it!
