Scale

Aioli Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until fully incorporated.
  2. Add Olive Oil: Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to create a smooth, creamy consistency for the aioli.
  3. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the mixture and adjust salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired to balance the flavors.
  4. Rest: Let the aioli sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop fully.
  5. Serve: Use the aioli as a dip for vegetables or fries, a spread for sandwiches, or a drizzle over grilled or roasted dishes.

Notes

  • For a stronger garlic flavor, finely mince or grate the garlic.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best brightness and flavor.
  • The aioli can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • If the aioli is too thick, whisk in a teaspoon of water to reach desired consistency.
