Instructions For Aioli Herb Dressing

  1. Combine all of the ingredients.
  2. Whisk together well.
What is an Aioli?

Traditionally, aioli (pronounced eye-oh-lee) is an emulsion. If you don’t know, an emulsion is a sauce made from two ingredients that don’t usually mix, like oil and vinegar. In Mediterranean history, the aioli was created by crushing garlic and olive oil until it formed a yummy thick paste.

Aioli has been adapted through the years, and now most of the time, aioli just means mayonnaise with some added extras! Like with my tasty herb aioli, we jump right into using gorgeous creamy mayonnaise and use this as the base for our lemon herb aioli.

Not only does this save us time, but it also gives us a delicious, smooth sauce packed with flavor.

Can I add any extras to this herb aioli recipe?

Yes! Feel free to add some fun extras or even sub out my herbs for others you love more. Garlic is a classic flavor you’ll often see added into aioli, so you can absolutely add garlic to this recipe to create a flavorful garlic herb aioli! Some other fun additions include mustard, sriracha, paprika, or lime juice instead of lemon.

My herb aioli really is a great base for so many different flavor profiles, so get creative!

Is lemon herb aioli vegan?

No, this recipe is not vegan. However, making a vegan version of this herb aioli recipe would be very easy! Simply use a vegan mayonnaise instead of the regular mayonnaise, and you’re good to go.

Can I make herb aioli ahead of time?

Yes, you can make this aioli recipe ahead of time. Once made, you can store my aioli herb sauce in the fridge for up to 7 days. Just note that the flavors will develop and intensify as time goes on. So, if you want a more subtle flavor, make this recipe closer to when you’ll be using it.

Notes

Fresh herbs are best in this recipe, but if you only have dried herbs you can substitute the amounts straight across.
