Lick-the-Spoon Cilantro Jalapeño Aioli

This cilantro lime aioli is a versatile topping for just about anything. The flavors are bright and tangy. I have used this recipe in coleslaw dressing, as a topping for turkey burgers and fish tacos with red cabbage garnish, and even as a dip for other Mexican-inspired dishes.
