Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt (low-fat)
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by peeling the garlic cloves and mincing them finely. For a smoother texture, you can also use a garlic press.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic and lemon juice. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes to mellow the garlic's pungency.
Step 3
Once the mixture has rested, add the Dijon mustard, Greek yogurt, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 4
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking the mixture. This gradual incorporation is essential to achieve a creamy emulsion.
Step 5
Continue whisking until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Step 6
Taste the aioli and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lemon juice, salt, or pepper according to your preference.
Step 7
Transfer the aioli to a serving dish or an airtight container if making ahead of time.
Step 8
Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve as a dip, spread, or accompaniment to grilled vegetables, seafood, or lean meats.
