BBQ Aioli
Description
A creamy, smoky BBQ aioli made with mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, fresh garlic, and lemon juice. Ready in 5 minutes and perfect for burgers, fries, wings, and grilled meats.
Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup BBQ sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- ⅛ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together the ½ cup mayonnaise and ¼ cup BBQ sauce until the color is completely uniform.
- Add the 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, ⅛ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- Stir until smooth and fully combined.
- Taste and adjust — more lemon juice if it tastes heavy, more salt if it tastes flat, more BBQ sauce for a stronger smoky flavor.
- Serve right away, or cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the garlic mellow.
Equipment
- Small mixing bowl
- Whisk or spoon
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Do not freeze — mayonnaise separates when thawed. For chipotle BBQ aioli, add ½ teaspoon chipotle powder. For honey BBQ aioli, add 1 tablespoon honey.
