Cilantro Aioli
Aioli is basically a flavoured, garlicky mayonnaise. Use this as a spread, dip or drizzle over a soup or salad. The cilantro/lime notes complement Mexican anything. (Except dessert!) This recipe originated with my Doterra cooking class menu, and if you don’t have the cilantro oil (which is different from the coriander oil) you can add fresh coriander leaves. SO what is the difference between cilantro and coriander oils? Cilantro is oil from the leaves and the coriander oil is from the seeds of the plant. None the less, here in Australia, we still call the cilantro leaves, coriander leaves...I stand corrected. You got it right all my American friends!
