Ingredients
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
- Combine Ingredients: Add the mayonnaise, grated garlic, fresh lemon juice, salt, sugar, ground black pepper, and garlic powder into a small bowl.
- Mix Thoroughly: Whisk all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated, ensuring the garlic is evenly distributed throughout.
- Chill to Meld Flavors: Refrigerate the aioli for at least 15 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to blend and intensify, creating a more balanced and delicious sauce.
- Store: Keep any leftover garlic aioli in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness and flavor.
Notes
- For a stronger garlic flavor, increase the amount of grated garlic or let the aioli sit longer before serving.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, use a food processor or blender instead of whisking by hand.
- Can be customized by adding herbs like parsley or a pinch of cayenne for heat.
- Ensure using fresh lemon juice for the best bright, tangy taste.
- Perfect as a dip for fries, spread on sandwiches, or as a sauce for grilled meats and vegetables.
