Do you have a suggestion as to make the aioli vegetarian friendly? This looks delicious!

Hi Cassandra! Could you cook a few vegetarian bacon strips and add to the aioli? I've never tried them but it might be a good alternative.

Finger licking good! Loved this with sliced tomatoes, but it was also a great addition to other sandwiches (in place of mayo or mustard) and we used it on burgers. Have shared the recipe with several friends and everyone loves it. There is only one problem -- I want to eat it every day!

raw egg?

there is nothing wrong with eating raw eggs-people put them in blended drinks all the time. If you have young children or a compromised immune problem-avoid. If you're still a scaredy cat-coddle them first-put them in a small bowl, pour hot water over the eggs-let them sit in the hot water 5 minutes. It's not the yolk but the whites if you're wary and lemon juice/vinegar kill bacteria. Also, crack your eggs on a flat surface not the edge of a bowl, for instance.

I wasn't a scaredy cat - just wasn't clear if I should use a raw or hard boiled egg.

Hi Mari! Yes it is a raw egg, but if you have issues you can certainly find pasteurized eggs at almost any market nowadays.

It looks so good, will this discolor if left in the fridge?

Kenny's right....and if you lay a piece of plastic wrap directly on the exposed spread it will help even further.

I would place a few slices of tomato over some nice greens and add a dollop of this aioli as a nice variation on a small dinner salad.

My husband? Not so frisky with his food choices...heaven forbid I change up his beloved BLT. But when we were bringing dinner to a friend's house (they have a huge garden, and we were going to pick up a couple of bushels of produce), I knew I'd found my chance. And scored a big one...I saw the sigh on his face, and then on everyone's faces...they loooooved the aioli. Thank you so much for the recipe!

My husband used to be exactly like yours....but now he's game for anything. Give him time..he'll come around. And I'm so happy that everyone like the aioli. Thanks so much!

I am not crazy about uncooked eggs. Can I do away without the egg or can I substitute with something else?
inpatskitchen

Yes you can...omit the eggs, oil and lemon juice and sub in 3/4 cup good quality mayo. Sure hope you try this!

Congratulations! I wish I'd seen this before making my guacamaioli recipe - the bacon and bacon fat addition is pure genius! LOVE!!!

I have a few left over pieces of bacon, so I'm making this right now. Can't let that bacon go bad now, can I?! ;)

Just give me two shakes of a lamb's tail! ;) Sure looks more exciting than my lunch today! (no offense intended toward my salad, but it is *severely* lacking in bacon and avocado)
