Extra Virgin Olive oil Aioli
There is nothing like homemade aioli. The jarred product does not come close and especially not the Passover mayonnaise. To make a delicious creamy aioli-start with a good extra virgin olive oil. I am using one from France that tastes buttery and luscious with no bitterness and heavy flavor.

1. Place all ingredients except olive oil in the work bowl of a food processor. Pulse several times to mix.
