Begin by mincing the garlic cloves very finely. You can use a garlic press for a finer consistency.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the egg yolks, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Start adding the olive oil a few drops at a time, whisking continuously. Once the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify, you can start adding the rest of the olive oil and canola oil in a slow, steady stream. It's crucial to whisk vigorously to ensure the mayo thickens properly.
After incorporating all the oil and achieving a thick, creamy consistency, add in the minced garlic. Whisk to distribute the garlic evenly throughout the mayo.
Stir in the lemon juice and ground black pepper, tasting to adjust if additional acidity is desired from more lemon juice.
Transfer the prepared garlic mayo into a clean, airtight container. Let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Use this low sodium garlic mayo as a condiment, spread, or dip as desired. It can be stored in the fridge for up to one week.
