Ingredients
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 2 medium Fresh garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Distilled white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.75 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Canola oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. For a smoother aioli, you can also crush the garlic into a paste using the flat side of a knife before mincing.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, minced garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, and Dijon mustard until well combined and frothy.
Step 3
In a separate container, mix the olive oil and canola oil together to ensure even consistency.
Step 4
Gradually add the blended oils to the egg yolk mixture. Start by adding a few drops at a time while continuously whisking. As the mixture begins to emulsify and thicken, you can increase to a slow, steady stream, constantly whisking to maintain the emulsion.
Step 5
Once all the oil is incorporated and the aioli is thick, creamy, and smooth, season with freshly ground black pepper and gently mix to incorporate.
Step 6
Taste the aioli – this is a low sodium recipe, but if you find it needs a touch of salt for your taste preference, add a small pinch of a low-sodium salt substitute if desired.
Step 7
Transfer the finished aioli to a serving dish and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Serve chilled alongside your favorite veggies, seafood, or as a flavorful spread on sandwiches and wraps.
