Steps:
- In a small, shallow bowl, combine the pressed garlic and lemon juice. Stir to combine and spread it into an even layer so the juice can work its magic. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes, so the lemon juice can absorb the garlic's flavor.
- Place a fine mesh strainer over another bowl. Using a silicone or rubber spatula, scoop the contents of the bowl into the strainer, then press on the garlic with the spatula to get as much juice out as possible. Discard the garlic.
- Stir the mayo into the garlicky lemon juice until combined. Taste, and adjust only if necessary-if the garlic flavor is overwhelming, stir in more mayonnaise by the tablespoon. If you want it to taste a little more interesting, add the Dijon mustard. For more tang, add another little squeeze of lemon juice.
- Aioli will keep well in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 10 days. It will thicken up more as it chills.

HOMEMADE AIOLI RECIPE
Steps:
- In a small food processor or cup using an immersion blend, whisk together yolks, lemon juice and zest, and mustard. Pulse, scraping down the sides, until it becomes a pale yellow paste.
- While whisking or while the immersion blender is on, very slowly pour the oil into the yolk mixture. It should start to thicken and combine, but if it it does seperate, stop adding the oil and continue to whisk until it combines again, then resume the oil.
- When fully combine, add the garlic and salt, either giving a few more quick pulses or folding in by hand. If you plan to add chives or black pepper, fold them in as well.
- Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to let flavors marry.

ROASTED GARLIC AIOLI
Creamy roasted garlic aioli can be made quickly with leftover roasted garlic. We love roasted garlic and tend to bake more than one at a time for convenience and to be energy efficient.

Tips:
- For a smooth and creamy aioli, make sure to use a blender or immersion blender.
- If you don't have a blender or immersion blender, you can whisk the aioli by hand, but it will take longer.
- Start with a small amount of garlic and add more to taste. Garlic can be overpowering, so it's best to err on the side of caution.
- Use a good quality olive oil for the best flavor. Extra virgin olive oil is a great choice.
- If you want a thicker aioli, add less lemon juice. If you want a thinner aioli, add more lemon juice.
- Serve the aioli immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Aioli is a versatile sauce that can be used as a dip, spread, or dressing. It's perfect for serving with grilled meats, seafood, vegetables, or fries. It's also a great addition to sandwiches and wraps. With its creamy, garlicky flavor, aioli is sure to please everyone at your table.
