Truffle Herb Aioli

Chef Daniel Orr uses Truffle Herb Aioli as a dressing for salads, like his Fresh Mushroom Brochette salad, with arugula and roasted tomatoes. It's perfect on sandwiches, and makes a wonderful dip. Feel free to substitute with your favorite fresh herbs. If you don't have truffle oil, no worries, you can skip it. Just boost the flavor by adding more roasted garlic and/or more fresh herbs.

You can roast your garlic by wrapping a full head of garlic in foil and baking it in the oven (or even a toaster oven) at 350F for 30 minutes or so. Once the garlic is soft, remove from the oven and allow to cool. Then you can break the bulb open, and squeeze the garlic cloves from their skins. This method adds a rich, warm flavor and mellows the bite of raw garlic.
