Chipotle Aioli Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (56g) mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic, pressed
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon chipotle powder (or 1/2 to 1 teaspoon adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients. In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, pressed garlic, lemon juice, chipotle powder or adobo sauce, salt, and pepper until well blended and smooth.
- Adjust Seasoning. Taste the aioli and add additional chipotle powder or adobo sauce to increase the heat if desired. Adjust salt and pepper to your preference.
- Serve. Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy as a dip, spread, or sauce to complement your dishes.
Notes
- For a spicier aioli, increase the chipotle powder or adobo sauce gradually while tasting.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, start with less chipotle powder and add more as needed.
- This aioli can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
- Pressing the garlic helps release more flavor and prevents a harsh bite.
