Easy Garlic Aioli from Scratch
Report
My easy aioli recipe is made with an immersion blender, a much easier way to get that perfect, creamy consistency. Whip up this easy garlic aioli sauce to dip, schmear, and top any dish. It's a creamy sauce that packs a ton of flavor with fresh lemon and punchy garlic and goes well with just about anything!

Ingredients
- 1-2 garlic pressed or minced, cloves
- Pinch kosher salt
- lemon juice of half
- 2 egg at room temperature, yolk
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
Instructions
- Place the 2 pressed garlic cloves, 2 egg yolks, 1/4 tsp kosher salt, and juice of 1/2 a lemon into a measuring cup or wide-mouth mason jar for an immersion blender or the bowl of a food processor, if using.
- Blend the egg yolk mixture together for about 30 seconds to activate the thickening qualities in the yolks.
- Pour in the olive oil, then blend with the immersion blender (move the blender up and down in the jar or food processor to get the oil well incorporated) for a minute, then check on the consistency. It should be smooth, creamy, and thick, like a slightly-loose mayonnaise.
- Give a taste, and season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
- Keep the garlic aioli in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
- Don't want the flavor that extra virgin olive oil flavor? Use a more neutral oil like avocado oil, vegetable oil, or canola oil.
- Room temperature egg yolks work best to make the aioli thick and creamy.
- Got those green sprouts in your garlic? Remove them. They have a bitter flavor.
- Can't handle raw garlic? Make roasted garlic aioli instead with a roasted head of garlic, which is mild, mellow, and delicious!
