Sun-dried tomato aioli is a flavorful and versatile condiment that can add a burst of flavor to a variety of dishes. It is made with sun-dried tomatoes, which are tomatoes that have been dried in the sun or in a dehydrator until they are hard and concentrated in flavor. These tomatoes are then combined with mayonnaise, garlic, and other seasonings to create a creamy and tangy sauce. Sun-dried tomato aioli can be used as a dipping sauce for vegetables, seafood, or chips, or as a spread for sandwiches and burgers. It can also be added to pasta dishes, grilled meats, or even to make a salad dressing. With its vibrant flavor and versatility, sun-dried tomato aioli is a great addition to any kitchen.

2 tablespoons canola oil (or vegetable oil)
2 scallions, trimmed, thinly sliced
1 celery rib, inner rib, trimmed, diced fine
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded, diced fine
1 extra large egg
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 tablespoon light mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard (or Verjus mustard)

2 -3 tablespoons Crisco shortening

  • In a mixing bowl, beat the egg and whisk in the Old Bay, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, pepper and parsley.
  • Add the cooled vegetable mixture and stir to mix.
