What is Aioli Sauce?
While aioli is similar to mayonnaise, it is often distinguished by its strong garlic flavor. Traditionally, aioli is used as a dip for seafood, fish, and vegetables. However, it’s also a versatile condiment that can be used as a spread or dip, making it a popular choice for many dishes. With its unique flavor and endless variations, aioli can be customized to suit individual taste preferences.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Mayonnaise: Feel free to use storebought, or make your own homemade mayonnaise as the base for the spread.
Lemon Juice: I prefer freshly squeezed lemon juice, but bottled lemon juice works great too.
How to Use Aioli
Garlic aioli is good on almost everything! I used it on all my patty melt recipes, and here are some other ways to use this aioli recipe:
- All kinds of sandwiches (Cheeseburgers, Patty Melt, Bacon Cheeseburger Patty Melt, French Onion Melt)
- Fish
- Chicken Tenders
- Vegetables (Fried Zucchini Sticks)
- Dip for French Fries (Give it a try with my Roasted Potato Wedges!)
How to Store Aioli
Once you have the aioli recipe made, store it in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. The garlic may get a little stronger the longer it is stored, so keep that in mind before you make it. If you want to, you could mix up all the ingredients EXCEPT the garlic until you are ready to use it. Add the garlic at the last minute.

Best aioli recipe ever !! New staple in our house !
Perfect amount of garlic, too much ketchup for me so I added about 1/4 c more mayo, then excellent!
Subway has this on one of their new choices of subs. I asked what was in the sauce and the worker said Mayo and garlic and you could probably buy something similar at the grocery story. I looked and couldn’t find a mayo/garlic spread. Sooooo happy to see this recipe, gonna try it! TY
This has become a fast hit at our house and neighborhood!!!! One of my son’s friends asked if I would make a whole batch just for him for his birthday LOL! It is great on burgers, especially burgers made with a fried egg on top! Also dipped in french fries, crackers, eaten with their fingers 🙂 Thanks for a tasty new favorite recipe!
OMGoodness I can’t wait to try this on a Portabella Mushroom Burger. I buy the huge Portabella Caps and I’ve been searching for the perfect Aioli! Thanks so much.
I tried this and it was AWESOME!! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
About how long would this keep in the fridge? Can’t wait to try it!
I believe she said it can be safely stored for up to 7 days in the fridge in a tightly covered container along with the notation that the garlic tends to get stronger being stored. Hope this helps.
I can’t wait to try this looks easy and very yummy.
Had store bought aioli. Didn’t know it was so easy to make with ingredients on hand in the kitchen.
