****Giveaway is now closed – I will be announcing the winner soon! ******
How was everyone’s weekend? For those of us in America, Monday was a holiday so I hope if you had it off work you enjoyed it. We grilled the ribs one day and then we grilled burgers the next. For that, I wanted to make a special aioli and then I remembered the Red Gold Tomatoes I had in the pantry. I have mentioned them to you several times in the past and then a few weeks ago, I got an email from their marketing person who had seen several of my posts, thought they were nice, and asked to send me a gift pack of five cans of special diced tomatoes, an aioli Recipe Sheet, a Red Gold apron and a tomato cheese spreader – no strings attached. I said, “Sure”! I had already won an apron so I have decided to give this one away to you my faithful friends who always read and comment on my posts. This giveaway is just for you and my FaceBook followers. The apron is wrapped in clear plastic in the picture below.
All you have to do is comment on this post telling me what your favorite condiment on a burger is AND go back to this post “Grilled Ribs with Mango Pineapple Sauce” and make a comment. If you have already commented on that one, you are half way there! Only those who comment on BOTH posts will be considered. The contest will run from now until 5PM CDT Friday May 30, 2014. I will put everyone’s name in a hat and choose one during the evening hours of Friday and contact that person – they will have 24 hours to contact me with their address. If not, I will contact another winner. Now on with the aioli:
This is so easy!
1 can of Red Gold petit diced tomatoes with garlic & olive oil, drained
1 cup Mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons Sriracha or other hot sauce
Put it all in a blender and blend until smooth.
Then put it in the fridge until the burgers are done so the flavors can meld…….you will LOVE it!!
Doesn’t it look delicious? It is.
Good luck on the giveaway – I love mine so I know you will love yours!
I am partying over at Weekend Potluck today!
Favorite condiment on a burger is mustard.
I love spicy mustard on a burger.
YUM! Spicy mustard is great!
Oh I have to have onion!
Me too! My husband says I eat more onion than anyone he’s ever known. Ha! 🙂
Homemade 1000 Island dressing is a must.
Sounds great! Good luck!
Actually I like mayo better than anything, if none is available I just don’t put anything on it. Your recipe sounds good!
Thank you – it is!
Terri – you won! Please contact me with your mailing address!
I’m sorry Terri – I waited more than 24 hours hoping you would contact me. I must choose another winner.
Well, Kelli, you’ve done it again! I’ve heard of aioli but never knew what it was. Do you use this as a spread for sandwiches or as a dip for veggies, chips, etc.? The recipe sounds delicious! I can’t wait to try it! As far as my burger goes, I love spicy mustard (and sweet onions) on mine!
You can use it for all those things Debbie – in fact, son-in-law did just that. I had it on the burger and dipped some chips in it. SIL said it was great with green onions dipped in it!
I’ve got a pantry full o’ maters, so I’ll increase someone else’s chances of winning. Favorite burger condiment? Yellow mustard. It’s a Texas thing, as I’ve learned in my travels. (And lots of extra pickles for me!)
Yep – the hubs is a mustard dill pickle guy himself! 🙂
Mayo and tomato are a must, so this aioli will be perfect!
I am sorry to say, but I have to have some ketchup on my burger!
My daughter has ketchup every time on hers!
I love lots of pickles on my burgers – and I mean LOTS!
Mmmmmm…….pickles!
Have to have onion, a burger is not a burger without it.
besides the usual, lettuce, tomato, onion, etc.. my favorite is Sriracha Hot chili sauce! 🙂

Love hot sauce on the burger!
Michael – you won! Please contact me with your mailing address!
My fave topping on a burger has to be guacamole with bleu-cheese crumbles and bacon being a close second!
I must try that bleu-cheese on top!
Sweet onions gently fried in butter to soften and sweat them. A little mustard on the burger topped with the onions.
That sounds wonderful!!
This aioli looks perfect for me , on burgers… or spooning 😛
Cheers

Spooning is the BEST way to eat it CCU! Thanks!
Blue cheese is a must on my burgers!!
I have never had that – but I have had several comments and I must try it!
I LOVE a couple slices of red onion–must be sliced SUPER thin!! Yum!!!
Yes – RED onion – I also like a garden fresh tomato but only if it is garden fresh!
My faves are teriyaki sauce & pineapple – yum!
A thick slice of tomato fresh from the garden!
Thousand Island Dressing
Jalapenos!!!
