Vegan Aioli
This creamy Vegan Aioli takes any vegan sandwich and makes it better! It's made with 5 basic ingredients and tastes just like garlic mayo. This is my go-to sauce for veggies, french fries, and roasted salmon.

Ingredients
- 3 tbsp aquafaba
- salt to taste
- 1 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (if you don't want a super garlic flavor, reduce the garlic, or use dried garlic instead of fresh which isn't as pungent).
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (start by adding 1/2 tbsp, taste the aioli, then add more lemon juice to taste as needed. I used 2 tbsp but you may want a less lemony-aioli!)
Instructions
- Add the aquafaba and the salt into a blender (or immersion blender). Blend until everything is combined.
- Keep the blender running constantly and VERY slowly drizzle in the oil, making sure it is fully combined as you go. If you add it too fast, the whole thing will turn liquidy and isn't redeemable. If you find you're getting a bit of oil on the top, stop adding the oil and just blend for a little while before continuing. The aioli will suddenly turn thick.
- Once all the oil is combined and thoroughly mixed, add in the lemon juice and garlic and mix thoroughly.
Notes
Top Tips For Making Vegan Aioli
- Don’t try to mix the aioli by hand. It’s far better to use a regular blender. This will give you the creamy, irresistible texture you desire!
- When making the aioli it's important to whip the aquafaba before adding the oil, this helps to emulsify the aioli, making it more stable when adding the oil.
- When adding the oil, make sure it's a really slow drizzle, and that you're whisking the aioli constantly, otherwise the aioli will split.
- If your aioli is too thick, you can add a little more lemon juice. If it's too thin, let it sit in the fridge for about an hour which should solidify the oil, making the aioli a little firmer.
- Want it smoky? Add a little bit of sweet or smoked paprika.
- In the mood for some heat? Go ahead and add some cayenne pepper.
