Small-batch Garlic Aioli
Description
This aioli recipe uses common pantry ingredients: mayonnaise serves as a smooth, rich base, while freshly pressed garlic infuses pungent, aromatic depth. A touch of lemon juice brightens the flavor, and salt and black pepper balance the taste. The instructions emphasize finely crushing the garlic to release its oil and flavor, which integrates smoothly into the mayonnaise, creating a harmonious sauce.
Because this is a small-batch recipe, it’s well-suited for making just enough aioli without leftovers. The result is a creamy, mildly tangy sauce with a noticeable but balanced garlic presence, making it versatile for sandwiches, dressings, or dips.
Garlic can be crushed without a press by mincing, salting, and smashing with a knife to form a paste, which ensures good garlic flavor distribution.
