Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas)
• 1 cup Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a blender or food processor, combine the aquafaba, minced garlic, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard.

Step 2

Blend the mixture on medium speed until it becomes frothy, about 1 minute.

Step 3

With the blender or processor running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the olive oil in a thin, steady stream. This process should take about 2-3 minutes. Continue until the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify.

Step 4

Stop the blender and taste the aioli. Season it with salt and black pepper, then blend again to mix the seasoning.

Step 5

Add the chopped basil, parsley, and chives to the blender.

Step 6

Pulse a few times until the herbs are well incorporated into the aioli.

Step 7

Transfer the aioli to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Step 8

Serve as a dip for vegetables, or use as a spread for sandwiches. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
