Lemon Caper Aioli

Lemon Caper Aioli

Capers give this creamy aioli little bursts of briny sharpness, followed by a fresh lemon finish. A quick blend turns it into the kind of sauce that can rescue a plain sandwich.

Butter Club Notes

I don't think capers get nearly enough attention. They're salty, bright, and have a way of making rich foods taste lighter. Add fresh lemon and a creamy aioli, and suddenly you've got a sauce that works on just about everything. I keep coming back to this one because it's simple, fresh, and doesn't overpower whatever it's paired with.
