Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup neutral oil (like canola or vegetable oil)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and minced garlic until well combined.
- Slowly drizzle in the neutral oil, whisking constantly. Continue adding oil in a thin, steady stream until the mixture emulsifies and thickens into a creamy aioli.
- Season with salt and black pepper to your preference.
- For a thinner consistency, whisk in a teaspoon of water.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use extra virgin olive oil, but be aware it can impart a stronger taste.
- Add fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
- A pinch of cayenne pepper can add a subtle kick.
- This aioli is a great base for other sauces; try adding sriracha for a spicy aioli.
