Make this quick and delicious garlic aioli at home in just 5 minutes. It is creamy, tangy, and packed with bold garlic flavor, making it your new go-to restaurant style aioli for fries, burgers, and sandwiches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup good quality mayonnaise
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced very fine or pressed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon water (optional, for thinning)

Instructions

  1. Place the minced or pressed fresh garlic into a small bowl.
  2. Add the mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the garlic.
  3. Use a whisk or a small fork to mix all ingredients together thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform.
  4. Taste the garlic aioli. Adjust salt or lemon juice as needed for your preference.
  5. If you want a slightly thinner consistency for drizzling, mix in one tablespoon of water until you reach your desired texture.
  6. Transfer the creamy garlic sauce to an airtight container. Chill for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the garlic flavor to fully meld.

Notes

  • For a more traditional, pungent flavor, you can mash the garlic with the salt into a paste using a mortar and pestle before mixing it with the mayonnaise.
  • This garlic mayonnaise sauce is perfect as a garlic aioli for fries or as a tangy garlic spread on sandwiches.
  • You can store this quick homemade sauce in the refrigerator for up to one week.
