Notes
For more lemon flavor, add a little more zest.
To sweeten it, add a little more honey mustard. To balance the sweetness and flavors, add a little more salt as needed.
To thin the sauce, add in ½ teaspoon of lemon juice or water.
Use vegan or dairy-free mayo for vegan aioli.
Add 2-3 more garlic cloves if you're a garlic lover.
Fresh herbs are highly recommended but you can use dry herbs if you’re in a pinch. It will take less than fresh herbs so start with one teaspoon of each then taste and add more if needed.
Store leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container like a mason jar with lid for up to 5 days.
