High Protein Cherry Pepper Aioli
Warning… you are going to want to put this High Protein Cherry Pepper Aioli on eeeeevvvvvverything!!
And you don’t have to feel bad about it thanks to the cottage cheese in place of mayo with a boost of protein.
I did add juuuuust a little mayo, but you can decide to just use the cottage cheese if you’d like.
How to make High Protein Cherry Pepper Aioli
Start with a cup of cottage cheese (I actually did 1/4 cup mayo and 3/4 cup cottage cheese) in a blender or food processor.
Then add a few cherry peppers with the stems removed and some of the brine from the jar.
Unflavored protein powder is an optional addition.
Also lemon juice, a few garlic cloves, kosher salt, and pepper.
Blend for about a minute and that’s it!!
You can store this in a jar or container with a lid in the fridge for about a week, or use it all right away.
I might just start making High Protein Cherry Pepper Aioli weekly because it’s sooooooo good on everything!
