Makes about 1 cup aioli

This aioli, which has a sweet-tart citrus flavor from the addition of both pomelo juice and zest, is ideal for dipping fresh raw vegetables. It is also delicious spread on toasted burger buns or dolloped on grilled meats and fish.

Aioli

• 2 egg yolks
• 1 clove garlic, smashed
• 1⁄2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed pomelo juice
• 1 cup olive oil
• Grated zest of 1 pomelo
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Handfuls of cherry tomatoes, green beans, radishes, and celery, in any combination

To make the aioli, in a food processor, combine the egg yolks, garlic, mustard, and pomelo juice and process until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil, a few drops at a time in the beginning. When the mixture begins to emulsify and thicken, add the remaining oil in a slow, steady stream until all of it has been incorporated and the aioli is thick. Scrape out the aioli into a bowl, stir in the pomelo zest, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Trim the vegetables as needed and arrange them on a platter. Spoon the aioli into a bowl alongside, and serve immediately.Yellow Grapefruit and Avocado Salad
