Easy Garlic Aioli (Garlic Infused Mayonnaise Recipe)

Aioli is essentially a garlic infused mayonnaise. Creamy, garlicky, and insanely delicious, this homemade Aioli is made with olive oil and garlic for immense flavor!

We love tuna and egg salad in our home, so we go through a lot of mayo!

I have made (Homemade Mayo) for years. Store-bought mayo contains way more ingredients than you actually need.

Aioli and mayo are very similar in the way they are made with the aioli being a fancy mayo with the grated garlic.

I have found that the easiest way to make garlic aioli or mayo is with an Immersion Blender.

You can use a high speed blender or food processor to make Aioli as well.

To make homemade aioli, you will need:

1. Olive oil – I prefer to use an organic extra virgin olive oil.
2. Salt
3. Lemon juice or dijon mustard – Either of these will work just fine as they are both acidic. I prefer to use mustard for added flavor.
4. Garlic – Use fresh, grated garlic.
5. Egg – For best results, let the egg come to room temperature.

The main difference between mayo and aioli is the garlic!

To make the best garlic aioli, finely grate the garlic on a rasp!

How to make this Homemade Aioli Recipe

To make the Aioli, start by putting the egg, salt, and mustard/lemon juice in a wide mouth mason jar. Grate the garlic over the jar with a zester grater or very fine grater.

Pour the oil over the mixture.

Using the immersion blender, put the end all the way down in the jar. Start the blender and move it slightly up and down. In seconds, the aioli will be thick and creamy!

Storage

Store your Aioli in the fridge for up to a week.
