Equipment

  • Small Mixing Bowl,
  • Knife (for mincing garlic)
  • Spoon or whisk for mixing
  • Measuring spoons and cup
  • Food processor (optional for a smoother texture)

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise full-fat for richer flavor
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil or fresh tomatoes for a lighter option
  • 1 small garlic clove minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic paste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper adjust to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients:

  • If using sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drain them and roughly chop. If using fresh tomatoes, finely chop them to get a similar texture. Mince the garlic clove or measure out garlic paste if using that.

Combine Ingredients:

  • In a small mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, chopped sun-dried tomatoes (or fresh tomatoes), minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.

Mix Together:

  • Stir the ingredients together until well-combined and smooth. For a creamier, more uniform texture, you can use a food processor to blend the sauce until smooth.

Taste and Adjust:

  • Taste the aioli and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preferences.

Serve:

  • Serve immediately as a dip for vegetables, fries, or as a sauce for sandwiches, burgers, or grilled meats.
