Mayonesa de Ajo, or garlic mayonnaise, is a creamy condiment popular in Mediterranean and Latin cuisines. Made primarily from egg yolks, garlic, lemon juice, and oil, this rich sauce boasts a robust garlic flavor and velvety texture. Its Mediterranean roots highlight its use as a delicious dip, spread, or accompaniment for dishes like grilled meats, seafood, and roasted vegetables. While it offers potential health benefits from garlic’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, Mayonesa de Ajo is calorie-dense due to its high fat content, primarily from the oil and egg yolks. It can be a source of healthy fats if olive oil is used in its preparation, but moderation is key to avoid excessive calorie intake. For lighter options, some recipes substitute part of the oil with yogurt for a healthier twist.
