Easy Garlic Aioli

Ingredients

5 cloves garlic, finely grated, minced, or pressed

1 to 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 1 small lemon)

1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

3/4 cup mayonnaise

Kosher salt

Directions

Stir 5 finely grated garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard together in a small bowl until combined. Let sit for 15 minutes for the flavors to meld.

Whisk in 3/4 cup mayonnaise until smooth. Taste and season with kosher salt or up to 1 tablespoon more lemon juice as needed.

Notes

Storage: The aioli can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 10 days (or only 4 days if made with homemade mayonnaise made with raw pasteurized eggs). Mix in a little lemon juice as needed if it tastes flat.
