Lemon Garlic Aioli is a zesty, creamy sauce perfect for dipping fries, drizzling over roasted veggies, or spreading on sandwiches. Made with fresh garlic, lemon juice, and mayo, it comes together quickly and adds a bright, tangy kick to any savory dish.
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Garlic press or fine grater
- Measuring spoons
- Measuring cups
- Citrus juicer
Ingredients
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup mayonaise
- ¼ tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced or pressed garlic, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
- Whisk everything together until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
- For extra brightness, you can add a bit of lemon zest to the mix.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- You can serve it immediately, or let it chill in the fridge to intensify the flavor—about 15 minutes is enough for the ingredients to blend beautifully.
Notes
- Roasting the garlic before adding it creates a mellow, sweeter flavor if raw garlic is too sharp for your taste.
- Use high-quality mayonnaise for the best texture and flavor—homemade or your favorite brand.
