Cucumber Aioli Recipe

Author: This Worthey Life

Ingredients

  • 1 whole egg room temperature
  • 1 egg yolks room temperature
  • 1/3 extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 grapeseed oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 finely chopped cucumber
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  • Fresh farm eggs are the best when making aioli because firm golden yolks yield the best results. However, store-bought eggs will also work. If the eggs have been stored in the fridge, place them in a bowl of lukewarm water and allow them to sit for 15-minutes.
  • Add the whole egg and the egg yolk into a food processor and beat until they begin to thicken and emulsify (20 seconds).
  • Add the extra virgin olive oil to the grapeseed oil, and little by little, drip a third of the oil into the eggs while the food processor runs. The volume will increase; at this point, stop the food processor and scrape down the sides. Turn the food processor back on, and add the remaining oil mixture in a steady, continuous stream. Stop mixing.
  • Through the food processor porthole, add the Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, and white wine vinegar start the food processor and continue to mix for 10 seconds.
  • Spoon the mixture into a bowl and fold in the chopped cucumbers.
  • Serve.
