Indulge in the rich, creamy goodness of this homemade aioli that’s bursting with garlicky flavor. Perfect for dipping crispy fries, spreading on sandwiches, or elevating any dish that craves a touch of decadence.


Ingredients

Mayonnaise:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

Garlic:

  • 2 garlic cloves (minced or finely grated)

Lemon Juice:

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Dijon Mustard:

  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt:

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Black Pepper:

  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Add Olive Oil: Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking to emulsify the mixture and create a creamy texture.
  3. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
