Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Peel and mince the fresh garlic finely to ensure it blends smoothly into the aioli without harsh chunks.
  2. Combine the Base: In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a small drizzle of olive oil for a silky foundation.
  3. Add the Heat: Stir in sriracha sauce along with chipotle powder, adjusting quantities to suit your preferred spice level and smokiness.
  4. Incorporate Garlic and Seasonings: Fold in the minced garlic and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust seasoning, balancing the lime’s acidity with the sauces.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the aioli for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld beautifully together before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder for vibrant, authentic flavor.
  • Add sriracha and chipotle powder gradually to control heat level.
  • Use high-quality mayonnaise for better creaminess and flavor.
  • Always use freshly squeezed lime juice for best citrus freshness.
  • Letting the aioli rest in the fridge improves flavor melding and thickens texture for easier spreading.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing is not recommended as texture may separate, but if necessary freeze in small portions and stir well after thawing.
  • This aioli is best served cold or at room temperature.
