Kofta Sliders with Lemon Garlic Aioli
Hanan Qasem of @hypegirlhealth turns her favorite Middle Eastern dish into a fun slider board with a homemade lemon garlic aioli made with Heinz Mayonnaise. Once the meat is cooked, add all the toppings to a board for everyone to assemble their own slider. Don't forget to top them with Heinz Ketchup or Mustard.
