I received promotional products in exchange for the post below. All opinions expressed are my own.
The folks at Red Gold recently reached out to me to discuss a current promotion they were hosting, and I was beyond thrilled to hear that they are focused on growing in the Midwest {mainly Michigan, Indiana and Ohio}, where the climate, position of the sun and soil are perfect for growing tomatoes. I truly learn something new every day!
I loved learning this factoid because I often buy Red Gold tomatoes for a variety of recipes, including this one pot wonder, chilis, chicken bruschetta bake and more.
The one thing I’ve never thought to use canned tomatoes for is aioli. If you’re not familiar, aioli essentially is a dressed up, delicious version of mayo.
Red Gold is introducing 10 new Aioli recipes including: Chipotle Aioli, Tomato Aioli, Lime & Cilantro Aioli, Sriracha Aioli, Pesto Aioli and more. And ya’ll? They are SO simple and perfect for sandwiches, dips, toppings and other recipes? YUM.

Combine mayonnaise and RED GOLD® PETITE DICED TOMATOES to make the Tomato Aioli. Place lettuce on 4 slices of bread and then add three strips of bacon and top with Tomato Aioli and black pepper. Place slice of bread on top. Cut in half and serve.
Three cheers for BLTs! They are always a hit at this house 😀
Also, we decided to make our own aioli using the tomatoes with garlic and olive oil and mayo to serve with some french fries we made. So delicious and complemented our burgers-on-the-grill wonderfully!
