Elevate your plant-based creations with this Vegan Classic Homemade Aioli, a creamy and flavorful condiment that’s entirely egg-free! Made with aquafaba—the magical liquid from canned chickpeas—this aioli achieves a luscious, mayonnaise-like texture without animal products. Infused with the bold flavors of minced garlic, tangy lemon juice, and a hint of Dijon mustard, it’s perfectly balanced with olive oil for a smooth, rich finish. Ideal for dipping, spreading, or drizzling, this easy 10-minute recipe showcases the magic of emulsification while packing a punch of zesty sophistication. Whether paired with crispy fries, roasted vegetables, or as a sandwich spread, this versatile vegan aioli is bound to be a staple in your kitchen.
In a blender or food processor, combine the aquafaba, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, and ground black pepper.
Blend the mixture on medium speed for about 30 seconds until the ingredients are well mixed and slightly frothy.
With the blender or food processor on low speed, begin to slowly add the olive oil in a thin, steady stream. This step is crucial for emulsification and achieving a creamy consistency.
Continue to blend until all the olive oil is incorporated and the aioli is thick and smooth. It should have a consistency similar to mayonnaise.
Taste the aioli and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.
Transfer the aioli to a clean jar or container and store it in the refrigerator. It will thicken slightly as it chills and should be used within a week.
