There are so many reasons why you will love this.

First I just love the sauce, I made a tomato basil aioli.

It’s so fresh tasting, the flavor tastes right out of the garden.

Yep, it’s super delicious and going to be great on a sandwich and perfect for a BLT.

Now onto how EASY it is to make, really there are very few ingredients and that is sure to make you happy, I know I am.

A great vegetarian option is to leave out the pepperoni! Simple and delicious.

Now if a veggie pizza is you favorite, go right ahead and add in some diced peppers, mushrooms, and onions and you’re all set!

Now if you are the pizza lover in your house or it’s another family member that has PIZZA on the top of your favorites list and it seems like you/they must have it ALL THE TIME.

This is going to be a game changer!

It can be ready at a moments notice and is great to pack for lunches, makes a nice pot luck item to bring to a bbq, party and there is no heating the oven to 500 degrees on a hot summer night, just boil up the noodles and in about 15 minutes you’ll be able to enjoy a bowl!

Be sure to check out my post on Homemade Mayo if you’ll be making the mayo from scratch as I do. You can use store-bought mayo, but homemade tastes best!

    Is it safe to consume this dressing with raw egg yolk?

      Homemade mayo/aioli is made with raw eggs. I have never had any trouble with consumption. They do sell pasteurized eggs if you prefer to use them.
