How do you plan to serve this garlic aioli? Let us know in the comments below! When we have time, w love to whisk up a classic French-style aioli from scratch with egg yolks. But most of the time, it’s this quick and simple 3 ingredient garlic aioli! Here’s how to do it. Mayonnaise is made using a similar method to aioli, but with canola oil and no garlic. In the US since the 1990’s, it’s become common to call any flavored mayonnaise aioli. For this garlic aioli recipe, we’ve used mayonnaise for a quick and home-cook friendly rendition. For a true aioli, go to this Classic Aioli recipe.
Fresh garlic Mayonnaise, as high quality as possible Fresh lemon juice Salt
The same goes for the lemon juice: always use lemon juice squeezed fresh from an actual lemon! Jarred lemon juice doesn’t have the same flavor (even if the bottle claims it does!).
High quality mayonnaise does improve the flavor here! But you can use any brand you like. One higher quality brand we like is Sir Kensington’s. Use a sharp knife to mash the garlic into a paste. Mince the garlic first, then use the side of your knife blade to mash and grind it into a paste for a minute or so. This is optional, but it helps to create a smoother consistency. Mix the mayonnaise, lemon, garlic and salt. If you’d like, you can add fresh ground black pepper. But we like the look of a smooth garlic aioli (or use white pepper).
As a French fry dip: try it with baked fries, truffle fries or sweet potato fries On a burger like black bean burgers, salmon burgers, tuna burgers, or falafel burgers As a sandwich spread like on an Italian eggplant sandwich or chickpea salad sandwich With roasted vegetables like best roasted vegetables, roasted green beans or roasted sweet potatoes As a dip for fritters like zucchini fritters or corn fritters As a sauce for fish like grilled salmon, garlic shrimp, fried tilapia, mahi mahi, and more
