Make the best homemade garlic aioli sauce in just five minutes. This creamy, flavorful garlic mayo recipe uses simple ingredients and is perfect as a dipping sauce for fries or a sandwich spread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup good quality mayonnaise
  • 3 large cloves fresh garlic, minced very finely or pressed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients. You need a small bowl and a whisk or a fork.
  2. Place the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper into the bowl.
  3. Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform in color. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. Taste the aioli. Add more salt or lemon juice if you prefer a tangier flavor.
  5. Cover the bowl and chill the garlic aioli in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the garlic flavor to fully infuse the sauce.
  6. Serve this homemade dipping sauce with french fries, roasted vegetables, or use it as a sandwich spread.

Notes

  • For a deeper, sweeter garlic flavor, try roasting the garlic first. Roast 1 whole head of garlic until soft, squeeze out the cloves, and mash them before mixing them in.
  • To make a spicy aioli variation, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce during step 3.
  • Store leftover aioli in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
