Aioli is a Provencal garlic mayonnaise sauce that gives new meaning to "Mayo Clinic."

It is a culinary delight paired with crab cakes, crudités, roasted asparagus, and artichoke leaves. Learn the professional secret to making your own aioli recipes and other sauces.

Ingredients

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 6 fresh garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine all ingredients and other seasonings of choice. Cover and chill well.

Create Your Own Aioli Recipes with this Professional Trick:

Here's an easy, professional trick to creating aioli recipes, and most any other type of sauce, that boast a perfect blend of ingredients.

Let's say you decide that you want to create an aioli sauce with horseradish and sage in a mayonnaise base. Your ingredients are:

Mayonnaise
Horseradish
Minced fresh garlic
Fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper
Sage

Gather your ingredients, then just add and taste.

After your base, mayonnaise, start with the most "violent" flavor, horseradish. Add a little at a time to the mayonnaise until it is flavorful, but not overpowering. Do the same with each of the remaining ingredients, ending with the delicate sage. The sage should balance the overall flavor of the aioli.
