Snowbird Recipe:

Parmesan Aioli

Aioli is a mayonnaise-based Mediterranean sauce made with garlic and olive oil. I first fell in love with it during a 2016 visit to Bud and Alley’s rooftop restaurant in Seaside, Florida. Aioli is amazing served with fish, seafood, steak, poultry, beef or as a sandwich spread on burgers. It's also fantastic with steamed fresh broccoli or as a dipping sauce with crudite or chips. Make it at least one hour in advance for best flavor.

My version of Parmesan Aioli is based on a recipe published on Family Circle’s website: https://www.familycircle.com/recipe/beef/pan-seared-steak-with-parmesan-aioli/
