Creamy Vegan Aioli (Garlic-Lover’s Dream!)

 


🧄 Creamy Vegan Aioli (Garlic-Lover’s Dream!)

Total Time: 5 mins | Prep: 5 mins | Serves: 6

Hey Fam 💚

Okay, real talk — sometimes you just need a sauce that makes people stop mid-bite like, “Wait... what is this?” 😏 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.

🛒 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Mix it up: In a small bowl, whisk together the vegan mayo, garlic, lemon juice, and mustard.

  2. Season: Add salt to taste and a splash of water if you want a thinner, drizzle-style consistency.

  3. Customize: Feeling spicy? Add paprika or cayenne for a bold twist.

  4. Chill (literally): Let it rest in the fridge for at least 15–30 minutes to let those flavors bloom.

🧠 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. 👩🏽‍🍳💅🏽

🥣 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. 👌🏽
