Elevate your meals with the perfect garlic aioli made right at home! Follow this easy recipe for a delicious and creamy addition to any dish
Making aioli sauce is so easy. I’ve already made Avocado Aioli, Sriracha Aioli and Basil Aioli but now it’s time for an easy-to-make Garlic Aioli.
What is Aioli
Aioli is a creamy sauce very similar to mayonnaise. The major difference between the two is that Aioli is typically made of garlic, salt, and olive oil while mayonnaise is made from egg yolks and canola oil. While similar in appearance, the flavor profile of each is very different.
Aioli is a versatile and flavorful sauce that can add a delicious kick to any meal. Whether you’re using it as a dip for vegetables or as a spread on sandwiches, making your own garlic aioli at home is easy and satisfying.
With just a few simple ingredients and a bowl & whisk, you can create a creamy and delicious sauce that will take your meals to the next level.
Recipe Tip
One of the most important steps in making garlic aioli is slowly adding the oil while whisking. This helps to emulsify the ingredients and create a creamy texture.
Slowly drizzle in the oil while whisking continuously. It’s important to add the oil slowly to prevent the mixture from separating. Keep whisking until the aioli is thick and creamy.
