Place the egg yolk in a medium mixing bowl and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to ensure it is not too cold, which can prevent the mayonnaise from emulsifying properly.
Mince the garlic cloves finely or use a garlic press to ensure they are well crushed.
Add the minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and water to the bowl with the egg yolk. Whisk together to combine until smooth.
Begin adding the olive oil very slowly to the mixture. Start with just a few drops at a time while whisking continuously to keep the mixture from separating.
As the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify, you can start to add the olive oil in a thin, steady stream, continuing to whisk vigorously until all the oil is incorporated.
After the oil has been completely added, the mayonnaise should be thick and creamy.
Stir in the white pepper and finely chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and color.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, considering any additional flavor preferences.
Transfer the low sodium garlic mayonnaise to a clean jar and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
Store in the refrigerator for up to one week, and always use a clean spoon to avoid contamination.
