- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press. Ensure the pieces are very small to integrate smoothly into the aioli.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the low-fat mayonnaise and non-fat Greek yogurt. Stir well until smooth and evenly combined.
Add the minced garlic to the mayo-yogurt mixture, ensuring it is distributed evenly.
Stir in the lemon juice, olive oil, and Dijon mustard until fully incorporated.
Season with salt and ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Mix the aioli thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
For a more elevated presentation, finely chop fresh parsley and sprinkle it as a garnish over the aioli before serving.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Serve as a dip, spread, or accompaniment for grilled meats, fish, or vegetables.
