Sprig’s Cheese & Truffle Aioli is a thick, flavour-packed sauce, which gets its body from extra virgin olive oil and garlic cloves. And then spiked with European cheese, a touch of black pepper, and oil of truffle. It’s really the way the Truffle oil mixes with sharp cheese, and that makes something so enchanting to the taste buds. Mix this Aioli in a salad, spread on toasts, or dress your favourite seafood with it just the way I made the Aioli Prawn Cocktail here. Prawn cocktail is an Age-old, popular starter. In my version, I made the iconic dish with Aioli instead of using Mayonnaise, and I’m so glad that I did. The layer of the sauce quoted prawns along with crunches from lettuce, and the salad base has made the Prawn Cocktail elegant and delectable at the same time. Go ahead, make this for your summer weekend party, and surprise your guests. 🙂
