  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Garlic 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 the mayonnaise, grated garlic, fresh lemon juice, salt, sugar, ground black pepper, and garlic powder into a small bowl. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and a smooth consistency is achieved.
  2. Refrigerate to Meld Flavors: Place the aioli in the refrigerator and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to fully meld together, enhancing the overall taste. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.

Notes

  • For a stronger garlic flavor, increase the amount of grated garlic or add a pinch of garlic powder.
  • This aioli works wonderfully as a dip for fries, a spread on sandwiches, or a sauce for grilled meats and vegetables.
  • Make sure to use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor; bottled lemon juice can alter the taste.
  • To adapt this recipe to a vegan version, substitute mayonnaise with a vegan mayonnaise alternative.
