Hi there, Ameera here!

You gotta give this one a try!

Tips for Success:

• Flavor Profile: This oil-free sun-dried tomato aioli is cashew based. It is sun-dried tomato forward in flavor. If you love sun-dried tomatoes, then this recipe is for you.
• Sun Dried Tomatoes: Be sure to select oil free sun-dried tomatoes. They are typically dried like dates. We used Bella Sun Luci California Sun Dried Tomatoes Halves.
• Hot Sauce: The hot sauce does not add any heat to the aioli. It adds flavor dimension and a tiny bit of smokiness.
• Maple Syrup: We only used 1 teaspoon of maple syrup to balance out the flavor. Feel free to leave it out if you wish.
• Cashew Substitutes: You can try the typical cashew substitutes: silken tofu, white beans, other nuts or seeds with the understanding that the flavor and texture will change accordingly.  You may need to adjust/add ingredients to compensate.   We have not tested any substitutions.

Leftovers and Freezing:

Leftovers will generally keep 5 days in the refrigerator.  Store in a covered container.

Like most mayos, this aioli does not freeze well.
