It is a good dipping sauce for seafood, french fries and vegetables such as steamed artichokes. Aioli makes a terrific spread on sandwiches. It can also be used as a base for other sauces or as a marinade for meats. Homemade aioli can be stored in an airtight container for a week in the refrigerator.
