Lemon Dill Aioli

This Lemon Dill Aioli recipe is super simple and only takes 5 minutes to make! The dill and lemon juice combined with the creamy mayo makes for a nice creamy and tangy combination. It truly is the most perfect condiment! We like to serve this sauce with just about any dish. This aioli can be used with proteins or vegetables. It is great to keep in your refrigerator so that you have it on hand for any meal!

Dairy free dill aioli in a small white bowl with a small metal whisk in it.

Unlike a traditional aioli that is loaded with many unhealthy fats, this recipe uses avocado mayo which is mayo made with avocado oil vs canola oil. This recipe was inspired by my Whole30 Salmon Cakes. The old bay seasoning in the salmon cakes combined with the dill aioli is oh so delicious and has the BEST flavor! I love the hint of lemon in this dish. It is the key to it pairing as well as it does with seafood but that does not mean it can not be used for other proteins and dishes as well.

If you love a good dipping sauce like I do, I suggest checking out my Breakfast Burrito Sauce, Dairy Free Pesto, Whole30 BBQ Sauce, and Whole30 Caesar Dressing as well.

This homemade aioli only requires basic ingredients that you likely already have on hand!

Ingredients

Avocado mayonnaise-This is what makes this aioli paleo. This mayonnaise is made with avocado oil instead of canola oil which makes it a lot better for us. If you are not worried about the healthy fats, any kind of mayo will work however I do think a good quality mayo like avocado oil impacts the taste.
Dried dill-To give it that dill flavor.
Lemon juice-The lemon combined with the dill is by far my favorite combination.
Dijon mustard-To add even more flavor.

See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurement.

Substitutions and Variations

If you are not paleo or diary free, you can use any kind of mayo you prefer.
Vegan mayo-If you cannot do the raw eggs in the mayo, I suggest vegan mayonnaise.
If you prefer to use fresh herbs, you can use fresh dill but the measurements will vary. I love the taste of dill! If you do not like as much of a dill flavor, you can always adjust the recipe to lessen the dill amount.

This recipe has not been tested with other substitutions or variations. If you replace or add any ingredients, let us know how it turns out in the comments below!

Equipment Needed

Expert Tips

Tip # 1: When mixing the aioli, you will want to make sure you are scraping the sides of the bowl as well as the bottom so that it is well combined.
Tip # 2: I love the taste of dill! If you are not as much of a fan, you can scale back the measurement for the dried dill to better suite your preference.
Tip # 3: If you choose to use a different brand or type of mayo, the flavor and consistency may differ slightly.
Tip #4: For best results, use an immersion blender! It is not 100% necessary

Recipe FAQ

What goes well with this dill aioli?

We love this aioli with just about anything but especially love it with seafood! It goes so well with my Paleo Salmon Cakes served over greens.

Can I used pre-juiced lemon juice?

Yes, but you will want to make sure to carefully read the ingredients label. Lemon juice is a common item to have additives in it.

Can I use fresh dill?

Absolutely! The potency of fresh and dried dill are different though. You will need to adjust your measurement to achieve the same flavor.

How To Eat Paleo While Traveling

This past week we just got back from our honeymoon in Turks and Caicos. It was beautiful, we had a blast! Ever since I started feeling better and taking better care of myself I do not want to jeopardize that feeling. I have been on so many trips before where I have come home bloated and foggy. I knew I wanted to get the most out of my honeymoon and feel my absolute BEST! One of the things that helps me feel my best is eating paleo aka super clean. Below are 6 tips to help ensure you feel your best while traveling too!

How To Eat Paleo While Traveling-

Talk to the chef-If you are staying at an all inclusive hotel like we did on our honeymoon, go up to the chef on the first day and talk to them about your dietary restrictions. I slipped the guy a $20 dollar bill and he took care of me all week. A little tip goes a long way. Everyday as I walked in he gave me the rundown of the things that I could eat. If you are eating somewhere for just one meal, tell your server what you can and cannot have in advance. Do NOT try to guess and pick something on the menu that looks “paleo.” There can often be hidden ingredients in dishes. Also, do not be afraid to speak up. As a business owner of a meal prep company I am always so thankful when clients tell me what they cannot have upfront, I want them to feel good eating my food and come back!
Keep it simple-Paleo is simple. It is what our ancestors ate. Vegetables, protein, fruit, spices and healthy fats. Look for simple items on the menu.
Focus on vegetables-I always eat my vegetables first, then everything else. Fiber is filling! The more we fill up on vegetables, the less we crave other stuff.
Focus on how food makes you feel-I wanted to feel my best on our honeymoon so I was sure to make decisions that aligned with how I wanted to feel.
When in doubt, order a salad-I love ordering a salad with a ton of vegetables, grilled chicken and I always ask for a cup of olive oil and lemon slices on the side to use as my dressing. Olive oil and lemon juice makes for the best simple dressing!
Fruit for dessert-After every meal I would order a few pieces of fruit and it comforted my sweet tooth every single time.

Honey Lemon Garlic Chicken Drumsticks

Even with the quick prep and cook time this dish is still full of flavor!

The flavors of this recipe are delicious and also allow for versatility with what you pair it with. The lemon gives a hint of freshness which is perfect for the spring and summertime. You can choose to cook this indoors or grill for additional flavor as well.

My favorite way to cook these drumsticks is on the grill or in my air fryer! I love the flavor the grill adds to the chicken and the crispiness the chicken gets from both cooking methods.

[feast_advanced_jump_to]

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

It is so simple! With less than 10 ingredients and 30 minutes you can have a delicious meal on the table!
This recipe is naturally paleo, gluten free, dairy free, nut free, soy free, autoimmune protocol (AIP) friendly, and refined sugar free.
Kids will love this dish!
I love to pair this dish with my lemon garlic asparagus or easy air fried green beans!
This would also be paired well with my blackberry mojito mocktail as well!
This is a great dish to make for your next cookout with friends and family or a simple dinner for during your busy week. The versatility makes it perfect for everyone!

Ingredients

Honey-I like raw honey from Costco.
Lemon-I like to roll them prior to using them to help get the juices flowing.
Garlic-Fresh garlic over dried garlic any day!
Chicken drumsticks-You can use chicken thighs or chicken breast, however that may impact the grilling times slightly. I love to get all of my protein from Butcher Box. Every month they send me a monthly supply of the best quality proteins. If you use this link HERE you can save on your first box.
Dijon mustard-I love the dijon and honey mix, however if you are in the elimination phase of the autoimmune protocol/ AIP skip the dijon.
Avocado oil-This is a great oil for grilling because it has a high smoke point and not much of a taste, however any kind of oil will work.
Garlic powder-To season the drumsticks.
Sea salt-To add flavor.

To garnish: (OPTIONAL)

Red pepper flakes-If you like a kick. Skip this for AIP.
Fresh herbs-I like chives and green onions.

See the recipe card below for full list of ingredients and measurements.

Substitutions and Variations

If you like the flavors but aren’t a fan of chicken drumsticks, you can swap it out for chicken breast or chicken thighs.
You can choose to either grill or bake this dish in the oven.
If you want more of a honey flavor for the chicken, you could swap out the dijon mustard with honey mustard. This will allow for more of the honey flavor to come through.

This recipe has not been tested with other substitutions or variations. If you replace or add any ingredients, please let us know how it turned out in the comments below!

Step by Step Instructions

Raw chicken drumsticks in a glass bowl. — Heat up the grill to 400 degrees F. If you do not have a grill, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mix the drumsticks with the oil, salt, and garlic powder. Next, lay the chicken in a single layer on the grill or on a baking sheet. Cook for 15 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 15 minutes for a total of 30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.

Honey lemon sauce in a small glass bowl with a whisk. — While the chicken is cooking, mix the sauce with a whisk.

Grilled chicken drumsticks on a white plate. — Once the chicken is done, either use the sauce to dip or to pour over the chicken. Garnish with red pepper flakes, chives, or green onion if desired.

Equipment Needed

Baking sheet – I love these baking sheets because they are non-toxic and are incredible quality!

Expert Tips

Tip # 1: When you are checking internal temperature of chicken drumsticks, make sure that you do not let the thermometer touch the bone to get an accurate temperature reading.
Tip # 2: When you are grilling you will want to keep a squirt bottle next to you filled with water. This way if you have any flame ups while grilling you are prepared to spray them out.
Tip # 3: I like to pour the sauce over the chicken drumsticks as well as serve it on the side. This allows for additional flavor and moisture for the chicken.

Recipe FAQs

How do you know if chicken is cooked thoroughly?

I always temp my meats after cooking them. It is the best way to know if it is done. Chicken can be tricky because sometimes it looks raw when it is actually cooked. Chicken should reach 165 degrees F. I love this meat thermometer HERE.

Do I have to use chicken drumsticks? Can I use chicken wings?

No! You can use any kind of chicken you prefer. I would recommend chicken thighs or butterflying your chicken breast if not using drumsticks to help ensure that they stay moist. I also love making this recipe with chicken wings. Just note the cooking time will change depending on what kind of chicken you use.

How can I reheat this dish?

I prefer to reheat the chicken in the oven at 350 degrees F for 5-10 minutes. I also like using the air fryer to get these drumsticks nice and crispy!

What should I serve with this?

We love eating this recipe with so many sides! They are great for a summer cookout and go well paired with: cucumber watermelon salad, bacon wrapped asparagus, strawberry poppyseed salad, crispy mini potatoes with garlic aioli, or my coleslaw.

What Happens When I Eat Gluten & Dairy

One of the most common questions I get asked is what happens when I eat dairy and gluten. Sometimes I find it mind blowing how sensitive my body is to it considering it is nearly all I ate as a kid. But the thing is when you start giving your body real, whole, nutrient dense foods it starts rejecting the not so good stuff.

The pictures below are taken a few weeks apart. The one on the left is the morning after eating out one night. I ordered a burger with no bun, greens, fries and had some charcuterie. I didn’t think to ask if the cured meats had gluten in them, but I am guessing they did. The next morning I could barely open my eyes, get my ring off and was swollen all over. The combination of all of the additives in there that my body is not typically used to was enough to put my body in overload.

Surprisingly the aftermath of this night out was not as bad as it has been in the past. Years ago I was flying out of JFK and was eating in the airport. I got gluttoned and before I knew it I had an accident in the airport. Even the smallest bite can make me so sick and sometimes these symptoms can last for up to a month. Below is a list of the symptoms that my body usually has when I accidentally eat these foods. I hope by writing this article you realize too that you are not so alone.

-Extreme bloat
-Swelling of my fingers, face and toes
-Headaches
-Congestion
-Body aches
-Night sweats
-Extreme weight fluctuations (sometimes 5 pound of water weight from one night)
-Anxiety/ depression that last weeks

Regardless of how careful you are, sometimes it is inevitable encountering these foods when eating out because a lot of times restaurants just are not trained in the severity of these allergies nor do they understand them. With that said, there are a few things I do when I accidentally do eat these foods:

Take an epsom salt warm bath
Drink a ton of water
Get a nutrient IV-I do this when it is really bad
Be sure to eat a ton of greens-This helps the body detox.

Paleo Blueberry Muffins

These moist and fluffy paleo blueberry muffins are perfect for breakfast and snacks. The natural sugars from the blueberries combined with the coconut sugar is oh so delicious and makes these muffins naturally refined sugar free. We love to prepare a nice big batch at the start of the week and eat them all throughout.

Anyone else obsessed with those mini muffins that came in the white bags as a kid? They were my favorite! If you like muffins as much as I do, you will LOVE my other muffin recipes on my website:

Ingredients:

Almond flour-My go to flour for paleo baking. I like to buy it at Costco in bulk. I find their brand is most consistent and you can get the best bang for your buck there.
Baking soda and baking powder-Help the muffins rise.
Coconut sugar-My go to sweetener for paleo baking. If you cannot tolerate coconut, you can use maple sugar.
Vanilla-Adds a dash of flavor.
Coconut oil-To keep these muffins moist! You can use olive oil if you do not tolerate coconut well.
Fresh blueberries-I only like using fresh. Frozen blueberries will add too much water.
Eggs-To help bind everything together.
Cinnamon-Just a dash for flavor. You can skip if you are not big into spices.

How to make paleo blueberry muffins:

First, preheat the oven to 350.
Add all of the wet ingredients to a bowl and mix.
Then, add all dry ingredients to a bowl and mix.
Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and then fold in the blueberries.
Next, line a muffin pan with liners. I like the silicone ones because they do not stick.
Divide the batter between 8 muffin liners.
Bake the muffins for 30 minutes until they are lightly golden on top and the toothpick comes out clean.

What is the secret to most muffins?

The key is the berries, oil, and eggs! The berries help add extra moisture. The eggs combined with the oil help too. Without the oil and the eggs these muffins would be dry.

What is the secret to light and fluffy muffins?

Baking soda and baking powder help the muffins rise. Both ingredients create tiny air bubbles which helps the muffins rise.

If you like this recipe, you will LOVE my other blueberry recipes:

See the full recipe card below with a full list of ingredients and measurements.

Substitutions And Variations

You can also add in other fruits like pears and oranges!
If you are looking to add something with less sugar you can add kale in! One thing to note about kale is that it is has to go through the juicer on low. If you run it through on high, you will lose part of the juice in the kale!

This recipe has not been tested with any other substitutions or variations. If you replace or add any ingredients, please let us know by leaving a comment below!

Step By Step Instructions

Over head shot of carrot juice in a juice pitcher. — Step #1: Place the juicer on high and add the apples and carrots in slowly. Then, place the juicer on low and add in the ginger.

Fresh carrot juice stored in a juice container standing up. — Step #2: Store the juice in a sealed juice container in the fridge.

Equipment Needed

I have had this juicer for years and love it! The only thing to note is that sometimes it stalls the motor if you put big pieces through. To prevent this, cut up any large pieces.

Expert Tips

Tip #1: If your juicer is smaller, be sure to cut up the fruit and vegetables into smaller chunks beforehand.
Tip #2: While you can store this recipe in the fridge, homemade juice tastes best when it is fresh! You will notice a foam on top of fresh juice. Do not get rid of that! It is the best part and I truly believe the foam adds so much flavor.

Recipe FAQs

Can I freeze homemade juice?

Yes! You can freeze homemade juice. I like to store it in single serving mason jars. Keep in mind that liquids expand when they freeze, so leave a little bit of room up top for the liquid to expand.

What are the health benefits of this recipe?

Any time you juice, it gets the nutrients in its purest form! That is why I nicknamed this recipe as the natural multi-vitamin! This recipe is loaded with vitamin a, vitamin c, and ginger has a ton of anti-inflammatory properties so it is great for inflammation too!

What should I do with the extra stock?

You can use the stock to make homemade bone broth! You can trow the extra in just about any broth recipe. I love using it in my Homemade Crockpot Beef Broth Recipe.
