Garlic Aioli – Homemade Garlic Mayonnaise

Garlic Aioli is so often served in many restaurants. It is a favorite of ours because it is so wonderfully pungent and creamy. We put together this garlic Aioli and used it to dip fresh vegetables in, and as a dipping sauce for freshly grilled meat.

Creamy Garlic Mayonnaise

Garlic mayonnaise is easy to make when you use an immersion blender. You can also make it by hand with a whisk. Watch the recipe video to see how it is made by whisking the ingredients together.

It tastes so much better than anything you can buy.  Consider making your own fresh garlic aioli at home.

Recipe Ingredients

Here’s a list of what you need:

• Eggs
• Dijon mustard
• Lemon juice or white vinegar
• Sunflower, vegetable, canola, or avocado oil
• Garlic
• Salt
• Ground black pepper
• Red pepper flakes for garnish if desired

How to Make Garlic Aioli

With an immersion blender:

1. Place all the ingredients except oil in a container slightly wider than the immersion blender tip and about 6 inches in height.
   
2. Pulse the blender to combine the egg, yolk, mustard, and lemon juice.
3. Slowly drizzle the oil into the container while blending.
   
4. After adding some oil, lift or tilt the blender slightly to let some air inside the mixture.
   
5. Continue to add oil while blending. The mixture will thicken into mayonnaise.
   
6. If using aioli as a dip, you can garnish it with red pepper flakes if desired.

By hand:

1. Place the egg, yolk, vinegar, and mustard in a medium bowl.
2. Whisk until combined.
3. Add the oil, a little at a time, and whisk vigorously after each addition to emulsify the mixture into mayonnaise.
4. Add the minced garlic and stir it into the mayonnaise.
5. Add salt and pepper and stir it into the aioli.
6. If using aioli as a dip, you can garnish it with red pepper flakes if desired.
