Ingredients

• 1 large Egg yolk
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 cup Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Neutral oil (like canola oil)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Use the side of a knife or the flat of a spoon to smash the garlic into a paste. Alternatively, use a garlic press for convenience.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, garlic paste, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

In a measuring cup, combine the olive oil and neutral oil.

Step 4

While whisking continuously, start adding the oil mixture to the egg yolk mixture *very slowly*—just a few drops at a time at first. Once the mixture starts to thicken and emulsify, you can add the oil in a thin, steady stream.

Step 5

Continue whisking and adding the oil until all of it is fully incorporated and the aioli is thick and creamy.

Step 6

Stir in the salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. If desired, add a little extra lemon juice for more tang.

Step 7

Transfer the aioli to a serving dish or airtight container. Use immediately, or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
