Scale
Aioli Ingredients
- ¾ cup mayonnaise (we love 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
- Combine Ingredients: Add the mayonnaise, grated garlic, fresh lemon juice, salt, sugar, black pepper, and garlic powder into a small mixing bowl.
- Whisk Together: Whisk all the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended, ensuring the garlic is evenly distributed throughout the aioli.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the aioli for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop depth.
- Store Leftovers: Transfer any leftover aioli to an airtight container and keep it refrigerated for up to 5 days to maintain freshness and flavor.
Notes
- For a stronger garlic flavor, increase the amount of fresh garlic cloves.
- Use freshly grated garlic to avoid the bitterness that can come from pre-minced garlic.
- Adjust lemon juice to taste for more tanginess.
- This aioli pairs well with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and as a dip for fries or crudités.
- Always keep aioli refrigerated and consume within 5 days for best quality.
