When I couldn’t discover an aioli that could be made in a matter of minutes, I created this one. The flavors must have time to meld in the refrigerator. on fried and grilled fish, perfect.

Perfect dip for my artichokes !!! Made exactly as written, thank you!
I soaked 2 -3 tsp garlic in 2 tsp lemon juice for 10 minutes, strain out the juice, then put it in 1/2 cup of mayo with a sprinkle of salt. It blends more quickly and tastes amazing!!
This was the first time I made Aioli and it was perfect ! I couldn’t believe how easy and tasty it was. I used it for a crab cake recipe from this site. Thank you for this recipe.
I wanted to make a chicken hasselback caprese recipe that called for Kraft Garlic Aioli but I couldn’t find it in the store, so I used this recipe and it was WONDERFUL! I actually used three cloves of garlic in half a recipe because we love garlic so much. Since I only needed 2 TB for the recipe and didn’t want any to go to waste, we just used some more to make tuna salad and it was PERFECT! We plan on using the rest with some shredded turkey for turkey salad. I have a feeling that I’m going to be making full recipes on a regular basis.
Amazing! So easy to make and even better the next day.
I substituted key limes in the place of lemons and the flavor is out of this world.
I added 3 teaspoons of guacamole to it. My husband loves it on his nachos, like at Fuzzy’s Tacos.
I cut the portions back to two but made this as written otherwise, yum!
This is ok as a garlic mayonnaise. But lets call this what it is…garlic mayonnaise. This is NOT aioli. For those that are a bit confused, mayo and aioli are not the same thing, not even close and not the same ingredients.
Super easy and a great addition to our meal! I made potato encrusted cod and sweet potato fries and this was a great compliment to both!
Wow! This was mentioned as an accompaniment to the Asian turkey burgers & it was fantastic!
great quick and easy aioli! No modifications needed.
I needed some aioli NOW, so I tossed the minced garlic w/ a little bit of olive oil and microwaved it for 30 or 40 seconds, to mellow the flavor and release the flavor into the oil. Then I stirred it together with the other ingredients (skipped the cayenne), and stuck it in the fridge while the burgers cooked. Spread it on a just-grilled burger and topped with sliced avocado. OM-…. SO good! I will definitely make this again and again.
Quick, easy and absolutely delicious!
Really quick and so tasty! Great addition to our grilled artichoke & chicken dinner. Didn’t have cayenne
Easy and delicious!
I just need a little of this so I only made 1/3 of the recipe. I added a couple of pinches of white and cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt. I also added a heaping teaspoon of chopped fresh chives. I liked this one because it called for less lemon juice than some others. Hubs really liked it, so I know I’ll be making it again. Served with crab cakes.
Super quick and so yummmy! Even better the next day. No changes needed. I used to top “Grandma’s salmon cakes” recipe from this site also. Thanks Mema for sharing your recipe!
Nice for something to whip up quick and fast.
This is a good aioli recipe. Normally we’re not much into cayenne but adding just a pinch gave this a nice zip.
I used this recipe last time I steamed artichokes and came back here to find it again. It’s very good and those I shared it with thought so too. Only modification I made is that I roasted the garlic in olive oil before making the sauce instead of adding it raw.
