Sun-dried tomato aioli is so simple to make, you can spread it on sandwiches or use it as a dip.
Sun-dried tomato aioli is a blend of mayo, sun-dried tomato, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil. I just recently had my first taste of aioli while eating out. It was a garlic aioli on a blackened chicken sandwich. It was delicious, and I have been waiting for a chance to try my hand at making aioli at home.
It is always a treat for me to go out to eat and every time we go out I tell myself that I am going to try something new. I love eating fish and that is what I usually end up ordering. One of the last times we went out to eat I saw this blacken chicken sandwich with aioli sauce and I actually order it. I was so proud of myself.
I know that aioli can be made with raw eggs, but I went with a mayonnaise base. Raw eggs scare me, I thought it would be safer with the mayonnaise, and it was easy to work with.
This aioli takes only minutes to make. All you need to do is place the ingredients in a food processor (I used a mini food processor) and it is done in a matter of minutes. It is so easy to make and so delicious.
So far we have had it on chicken, once on a chicken wrap and then on a chicken sandwiches. The sun-dried tomato aioli was perfect for the wrap and on the sandwich. You know what; I bet it would be great with fish too.

I made this and topped fish and broccoli slaw tacos . My family loved them Very easy and tastes so good. I now have also used it in Gruyère grilled cheese sandwiches and sliced chicken sandwiches subbing the aioli for the traditional tomatoes. Next is pasta ala tonno – tuna spaghetti using the aioli instead of tomato sauce. Thanks so much for the recipe.

This aioli was perfect! This recipe served as the last missing link for me to replicate a chicken sandwhich served at a local bakery in my previous hometown. It is now one of my go-tos (with just a little more sun dried tomatos and a dash of cayenne pepper).
For any curious or looking for more ideas to try this aioli with, the sandwhich is herbed focaccia bread with shreaded or sliced chicken breast tossed in this aioli, then topped with provolone cheese, sliced tomato, and spinach, wrapped in foil and baked for 10-15 minutes in the oven. So good, but also very messy.

Hi Adri, I am so happy that you like the recipe. Your sandwich sounds delicious!!
