This simple, indulgent garlic aioli is made with real ingredients and good fats. It transforms everyday meals with its rich, creamy, and garlicky flavor in just minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 small garlic clove, finely minced or grated (about 1 teaspoon)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
  • 3/4 cup neutral oil (like avocado, grapeseed, or light olive oil)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and salt until completely smooth and slightly pale.
  2. While whisking constantly and vigorously, begin adding the oil drop by drop for the first 2-3 tablespoons to start the emulsion.
  3. Once the mixture has thickened, continue whisking and add the remaining oil in a very thin, steady stream until fully incorporated and thick.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or a pinch of black pepper. Let sit for 15-20 minutes before serving for the best flavor.

Notes

For a stable emulsion, add the oil very slowly at first. Using room temperature ingredients helps. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
