5-Minute Black Garlic Aioli (Mayonnaise Dipping Sauce)
Quick & easy black garlic aioli made with creamy mayonnaise to simplify things! Enjoy as a dipping sauce and elevate any meal with this black garlic sauce!
Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise I used my
homemade oil-free mayo but feel free to use any mayo! - 3 cloves black garlic (see notes)
- ¼ tsp balsamic vinegar (optional, for more tang and/or color)
Instructions
- Mash the garlic by firmly pressing it down using the side of your knife. You should end up with a flat and thin layer of black garlic that breaks apart easily.
- Combine the garlic and 1 Tablespoon of the mayo in a bowl. You can scrape the garlic off using your knife if it sticks to your cutting board.
- Mix until they are well combined, pressing the garlic down with the back of the spoon to separate it.Be sure that there are no more garlic clumps. This initial mixing could take up to 3-5 minutes so just be patient!
- Add the remaining mayonnaise and stir to combine well. Taste and see if you'd like to add a bit of tang/color with the balsamic vinegar, and enjoy!
Notes
- The black garlic I used had really small cloves, so I used about 9 cloves. Volume-wise, you want them to be around 3 regular (white) garlic cloves.
- If you're unsure, start with a lower amount of garlic cloves and you can add more later if desired.
