This recipe can be made using 100% extra virgin olive oil. However, when agitated in a blender or food processor, extra virgin olive oil may become slightly bitter. In light of this, we recommend using a blend of safflower oil and extra virgin olive oil. Feel free to play with the ratios between these oils to fit your taste. And please, please do not stop at Persian Lime Aioli. Try an Orange, Lemon, Tuscan Herb or Garlic Olive Oil aioli too!
