Cucumber Aioli In a large glass bowl

Cucumber Aioli is one of my favorite sauces because of the refreshing taste of the cucumber. I personally like it chilled. This sauce is perfect for any egg roll dish like southwest egg rolls. They are the perfect match! Make sure to use real mayonnaise and fatty sour cream. You can also use this on a turkey sandwich. It’s very yummie! Join me in learning how to make cucumber Aioli!
