Notes
Makes about 1 cup
- You can make homemade aioli sauce in the food processor, blender or with an immersion blender. I've made it using all three methods and I much prefer the immersion blender.
- This sauce will be thinner than mayonnaise.
- Once fully mixed, taste and add additional salt if desired.
