Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise – use your preferred mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon garlic – minced
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper or freshly cracked pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Add the mayonnaise to a small mixing bowl.
- Stir in the minced garlic and ground black pepper.
- Add the lemon juice.
- Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with more black pepper if needed. Most mayonnaise already contains enough salt, so you may not need to add any. Taste first, then add a few pinches of salt if required.
- Let the aioli rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving so the garlic has time to flavor the mayonnaise.
- Serve aioli immediately with potato snacks, roasted vegetables, sandwiches or burgers. You can also refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
- Finely mince the garlic so it mixes evenly.
- Fresh lemon juice gives the best flavor.
- Let the aioli rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving so the garlic has time to infuse the mayonnaise.
- Taste before adding salt, as mayonnaise is already seasoned.
- Store refrigerated in an airtight container and use within 1 to 2 days.
- Double the recipe easily for parties or larger servings.
