π§ Creamy Vegan Aioli (Garlic-Lover’s Dream!)
Total Time: 5 mins | Prep: 5 mins | Serves: 6
Hey Fam π
Okay, real talk — sometimes you just need a sauce that makes people stop mid-bite like, “Wait... what is this?” π This vegan aioli is that sauce. It’s garlicky, lemony, and luxuriously creamy — basically, the plant-based version of that classic fancy mayo dip, without any eggs or dairy.
It’s my go-to for fries, burgers, grain bowls, and honestly… even roasted broccoli gets the royal treatment when this is around.
π Ingredients
-
½ cup vegan mayo (store-bought or homemade)
-
2–3 cloves garlic, minced or grated
-
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
-
1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional, but adds depth)
-
Salt to taste
-
1–2 tbsp water (to thin, if needed)
-
Optional: pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne for a little kick π₯
π©π³ Instructions
-
Mix it up: In a small bowl, whisk together the vegan mayo, garlic, lemon juice, and mustard.
-
Season: Add salt to taste and a splash of water if you want a thinner, drizzle-style consistency.
-
Customize: Feeling spicy? Add paprika or cayenne for a bold twist.
-
Chill (literally): Let it rest in the fridge for at least 15–30 minutes to let those flavors bloom.
π§ Mom Tip
You can totally make this in a blender for an ultra-smooth texture — especially if you’re using fresh garlic. And if you’ve got kiddos who side-eye strong flavors, roast your garlic first for a mellow, caramelized vibe. π©π½π³π π½
π₯£ Why I Love It
It’s that one sauce fits all kinda recipe. I use it for dipping, spreading, drizzling, and sometimes straight-up finger-tasting (don’t judge me). Plus, it takes all of five minutes and turns any meal into a “chef’s kiss” situation. ππ½
