Pesto Aioli Recipe
Description
The Pesto Aioli Recipe starts by combining mayonnaise with prepared or homemade pesto, fresh lemon juice, and finely grated garlic. These ingredients are whisked together until smooth, creating a creamy, herb-infused sauce with a hint of tartness from the lemon. The balance of pesto’s basil and pine nut flavors with the zing of garlic makes it a robust and aromatic condiment. Salt is added to adjust seasoning, with the option to increase the pesto amount if a stronger flavor is desired.
This aioli is kept refrigerated and can be stored for up to two weeks, making it handy to have ready for sandwiches, grilled vegetables, or as a dip. It can be customized with homemade mayonnaise for a fresher, more tailored taste.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise store-bought
- 3 tablespoons pesto prepared or homemade, plus more to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 1 garlic clove, finely grated
- kosher salt
Instructions
- Add mayo, pesto, lemon juice and garlic to a medium bowl, whisking to combine. Season to taste with salt and more pesto if needed. Store aioli in fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- If preferred, substitute store-bought mayonnaise with homemade olive oil mayonnaise for a fresher flavor.
