Garlic aioli is a classic condiment, known for its creamy texture and bold garlic flavor. While it may sound fancy, making homemade garlic aioli is surprisingly simple and requires just a few basic ingredients. Not only does homemade aioli taste fresher and more vibrant than store-bought versions, but you also have full control over the quality of ingredients used. Plus, customizing the flavor to your liking is a breeze, whether you prefer a subtle hint of garlic or a robust garlic punch. Our favorite way to eat this is super simple - dip your fries in it!

Traditional aioli is made first by making your own mayo. Our simple garlic aioli recipe uses store-bought mayo for a helpful shortcut, but if you want to make your own mayo, we recommend this Inspired Taste recipe.
