Ingredients
Garlic 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, ground black pepper, and garlic powder into a small bowl. Whisk all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and uniform in texture.
- Chill to Meld Flavors: Place the aioli in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 15 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to blend and intensify. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for the best bold flavor; grated garlic distributes evenly without large chunks.
- Adjust the lemon juice and salt to taste based on preference.
- Mayonnaise choice impacts flavor and texture; classic mayo like Hellman's works best.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness up to 5 days.
