Slappin' the Basil Aioli

Apart from food being beneficial for the body, it is without a doubt also fulfilling for the mind and soul. Sacramentally speaking, the sacrament of all sacraments is one that involves a significant supper -- eating and drinking in the memory of Love Incarnate! 

I am grateful to be coming from a family that loves to eat. Both my parents cook well so my siblings and I never really starved (see our photos, lol). Though I have yet to learn how to make brisket like my pappy does, I can at least add a unique twist to it by slappin' it with some basil aioli. Going Whole30 didn't allow me to Post Malone my meals (eat with dipping sauce; see song White Iverson). One of the hardest parts about going back to Whole30 is the mental hurdle that I would have to eat without the deliciousness of ranch or aiolis, but here is the universe conspiring to make sure I saw new side to living free of ingredients I can barely pronounce! I'm tryin', I'm tryin!

I choose to live in a condiment-friendly world. Every food deserves to be served with its sauce-mate.

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise

1 oz. fresh basil 

2 tsp. lemon 

Throw together in a blender and voila! The perfect condiment is here, y'all: Basil Aioli. It goes well with anything and everything savory. Not going to lie, I sometimes will just eat it by itself. Like I do Nutella. 

#FailedIt Hacks: Honestly, I don't have one for you. This one's pretty hard to fail, lol. 

#NailedIt Perks: You have a whole30 compliant condiment!

P.S. Don't judge me. Sometimes a girl needs her corn tortilla. If you are about the whole30 life right now (I'm literally on my 30th re-try), peep my next post featuring my attempt to make @sophisticatedcaveman's beef plantains -- the meal that gave us this basil aioli in the first place.
