Ingredients

Aioli Ingredients

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cups fresh basil leaves
  • 2-3 cloves garlic
  • 1 ½ tablespoon lemon juice (or more to taste)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the mayonnaise, fresh basil leaves, garlic cloves, and lemon juice into a mason jar or blender container.
  2. Blend: Use a stick blender directly in the jar or pour the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth and well combined.
  3. Store: Transfer the aioli into a clean container if needed and refrigerate. Use within one week for best freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • Adjust lemon juice to taste for desired tartness.
  • For a thinner consistency, add a small amount of water or olive oil while blending.
  • Use fresh basil for the best flavor; dried basil is not a good substitute.
  • This aioli pairs well with grilled vegetables, sandwiches, and seafood.
