Quick & Easy Homemade Lemon Garlic Aioli
Quick and easy homemade lemon garlic aioli with a great flavor of acidic lemon. My recipe below shows makes a small batch, approx. 1 tub / 1 large cup, and this can easily and quickly be done manually with only a bowl and a whisk.
But, if you want to make a larger batch, you can do so with an immersion blender or regular blender, as long as it has an opening that allows you to slowly and patiently drizzle the oil in, which is essential to mayo so that it will emulsify.
Quick & Easy Homemade Garlic Lemon Aioli
With just a few ingredients, you can make a creamy, savory sauce in just a few minutes. You can use this delicious garlic lemon aioli with meat, fish, or even your favorite veggies.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
- Juice and zest from ½ lemon
- Generous sprinkle sea salt
- 1 cup olive oil
Instructions
- 1. Combine the egg yolk, mustard, and minced garlic in a bowl.
- 3. Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the mixture, whisking continuously. Do not add too much at a time, or the mixture may not emulsify. (I found it’s easier to do this by placing the bowl onto a wet paper towel on the countertop to prevent the bowl from slipping. This also frees your other hand to manage the oil drizzling.)
- 4. Cover and store in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
