Chipotle Green Onion Aioli (gluten-free, vegan option)
This veganized aioli is just as incredible as any other, but healthier and dairy-free! It's an easy 10 minute blender recipe that will leave you with the perfect spread, dip, or even dressing!
Add all the ingredients, except for the chives, into any blender (such as a Vitamix).
Blend until completely pureed into a thick and creamy aioli.
Pour the aioli into a bowl. Add the finely chopped chives. Add some freshly ground black pepper to taste.
If needed adjust the seasoning with some salt or additional lemon juice.
Chill in the fridge and use as a spread for sandwiches or wraps, or as a dipping sauce!
Notes
Chipotle Pepper in Adobo Sauce - You can buy small cans of Chipotle Peppers already in Adobo Sauce from the grocery store. The brand I typically used is linked above. For this recipe, I used one of the Chipotle Peppers in the sauce. I added any Adobo Sauce that came along with the pepper as I scooped it out with a spoon (hence the ~1 tbsp adobo sauce in the ingredient list above). The adobo sauce is necessary to add that additional flavor for this aioli.Tofu - Instead of 1/4 cup silken firm tofu, you can use either more vegan mayo (1/2 cup) or a plain vegan yogurt (such as plain foregar project cashew-based yogurt). I personally like to use the silken tofu to cut the taste of mayo down.
