Garlic mayonnaise, often called aioli (though technically aioli is made with just garlic, olive oil, and salt), is a creamy, flavorful condiment. It is made by emulsifying garlic, egg yolks, oil (usually olive oil or vegetable oil), lemon juice or vinegar, and seasonings. It has a rich, smooth texture and a pungent, savory, garlicky flavor. The color ranges from off-white to pale yellow, depending on the oil used. This versatile condiment adds a delicious kick to sandwiches, dips, and various dishes. Consider using roasted garlic for a more mellow and sweeter flavor in your garlic mayonnaise, ensuring a smoother texture.

Garlic mayonnaise should always be refrigerated to prevent spoilage and bacterial growth due to the presence of eggs and dairy. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use it within a week for the best quality and safety. Avoid leaving garlic mayonnaise at room temperature for more than two hours.
