Lemon Garlic Aioli

Garlic and lemon juice are whisked into mayonnaise to create a quick, creamy aioli. The garlic provides pungent flavor while the lemon adds bright acidity, producing a smooth, tangy sauce without the need for emulsifying from scratch. Gentle mixing ensures the flavors are evenly incorporated.

As the aioli rests, the garlic and lemon meld with the mayonnaise, creating a balanced, flavorful condiment. Optional herbs or seasonings can be added for extra depth. The preparation emphasizes simplicity and convenience while maintaining a creamy, versatile sauce suitable for dipping, spreading, or drizzling.
