Homemade Lemon Garlic Aioli Recipe (Just 6 Ingredients!)
More than just a simple garlic sauce, this Homemade Lemon Garlic Aioli Recipe is the secret to amping up any of your favorite dishes, with just 6 ingredients.
Servings: 1 /2 cup
Ingredients
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice from about 1/2 lemon
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup neutral oil such as avocado, vegetable, canola, or grapeseed oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Using an Immersion Blender
- In a mason jar or narrow deep cup, add in all your ingredients: egg yolks, minced garlic, dijon, lemon juice, olive oil, neutral oil, salt, and pepper. Take your immersion blender and put the blade at the bottom.
- Start on low speed and keep the blade on the bottom of the jar. Allow it to get creamy this way and emulsify. Once you see the oils mixing in with the egg yolk from the bottom, slowly start pulsing and bringing the blender up and down until a creamy aioli is formed. Store on the fridge until ready to use.
If making by Hand
- In a medium bowl, add your egg yolk, garlic, dijon, and lemon juice, and using a whisk, whisk until creamy and mixed throughout. Keep going until your mixture is completely combined and airy.
- Slowly, start streaming in your oils and mix well with a whisk until a thick aioli forms, keep whisking until all your oil is finished up and the mixture becomes thick and creamy, about 10 minutes.
