Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Chill and Meld Flavors: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the aioli for at least 30 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully, enhancing the overall taste. Once chilled, use it as a spicy dipping sauce or condiment to complement your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • Adjust the cayenne pepper quantity based on your preferred heat level.
  • For a milder version, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor, or substitute with garlic powder if necessary, adjusting quantity accordingly.
  • Store the aioli covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
  • Try adding chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives for an extra flavor dimension.
