Scale

Aioli Ingredients

  • ¾ cup mayonnaise (preferably Hellman’s)
  • 3 cloves garlic, grated
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add all the ingredients—mayonnaise, grated garlic, lemon juice, salt, sugar, black pepper, and garlic powder—into a small bowl.
  2. Whisk Together: Whisk the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined and the aioli has a smooth, creamy consistency.
  3. Refrigerate: Refrigerate the aioli for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  4. Store: Keep any leftovers stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, ensuring the aioli stays fresh and flavorful.

Notes

  • Grating fresh garlic instead of mincing it helps release more flavor and creates a smoother aioli.
  • Adjust the amount of lemon juice and salt to taste for a more tangy or savory aioli.
  • Use this aioli as a dip for fries, a spread for sandwiches, or a sauce for grilled vegetables, seafood, or meats.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
