Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients - Start by gathering all your ingredients on the countertop. This will make the preparation process quick and efficient.
Step 2: Press the Garlic - Using your garlic press, crush the garlic clove until it’s finely minced. This step is crucial as it releases the full flavor of the garlic.
Step 3: Combine the Ingredients - In a mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, pressed garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Step 4: Whisk It Together - Using a whisk or a spoon, mix everything together until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 5: Chill and Serve - For the best flavor, let your aioli chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
