It seems like once a week we have a "stand-by" meal - something quick and easy to prepare, but not exactly inspiring. This usually ends up being veggie burgers or hot dogs on the grill. Tonight happened to be one of those nights. But, I decided to inject some interest and flavor with curry aioli. This can be made vegan with a couple of small substitutions.
For the curry aioli:
1/2 C non-fat plain yogurt
1/4 C low-fat mayo (you can substitute 3/4 veganase mayo for the yogurt and regular mayo)
1/2 medium sweet onion, roughly chopped
10 mint leaves
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp mild curry powder
1 tsp cumin
1 lime, zested and juiced
1/4 tsp salt
Combine the above ingredients in a food processor or blender and mix until smooth. For best results refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
This aioli can be used as a spread on your favorite veggie burger or as a dip to accompany some fries. It only takes a few minutes to make, but can transform an ordinary meal into something delightful!
