How to make it
For Aioli
- In blender or food processor, add garlic, egg substitute, mustard and lemon juice and blend to combine well.
- SLOWLY add oil, just a lil bit at a time to emulsify(meaning don't let it separate). After about 1/2 the oil is added, you can add the rest and continue to blend well. It should be creamy and well blended.
- Add basil and salt and pepper and blend, again, briefly, just to chop the leaves a bit, and combine.
- Refrigerate at least 20 minutes.
For Salad
- Toss all salad ingredients, other than lettuce leaves, together and refrigerate until ready to prepare.
To Plate
- Lay lettuce leaves down on serving plate, top with tomatoes and onions, sprinkle with additional salt and pepper, if desired, and then spoon on small bit of aioli. Sprinkle with cheese crumbles.
