For the Base

For the Zest
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Substitution: Vinegar can also bring a similar tangy note.
For the Heat
  • 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper Note: If you prefer less heat, use smoked paprika.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of mayonnaise, 2 minced cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Using a spatula or spoon, fold these ingredients together gently to ensure even distribution of flavors.
  2. Take a whisk and vigorously whisk the mixture for about 30 seconds or until it transforms into a creamy, smooth consistency with no lumps of garlic visible.
  3. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, or transfer the aioli to an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.
  4. Once chilled, unveil your creamy spicy aioli and give it a quick stir. Serve as a zesty spread for sandwiches, a topping for burgers, or a dip for fries and veggies.
