- Add fresh chives for even more flavor.
- The type of oil you choose matters when making an exceptional aioli at home. Although many people use extra virgin olive oil, we find it has a unique flavor. We recommend a neutral oil with a mild flavor so it won’t overpower the fresh herbs.
- For those concerned about using raw egg yolks, we recommend opting for pasteurized eggs to ensure safety.
How to Use
We love using herb aioli on just about anything. It’s great for dipping french fries and veggies or jazzing up your air fryer vegetable mix. Not to mention, it serves as a perfect dipping sauce for roasted potatoes and chicken tenders.
Or use it to elevate a dish like smoked rack of lamb. Smear it with a spoon on the bottom of your plate before adding a lamb lollipop or two.
Herb aioli is also great for white fish, like halibut, cod or even baked tilapia. And try mixing it into your tuna salad or chicken salad for a serious pop of flavor.
It’s wonderful paired with chicken or pork for a delightful taste. This is one of our favorite aioli recipes to pair with just about anything to bring a burst of light fresh flavor and add a flavorful twist.
How to Store Herb Aioli
Store your homemade herb mayo in a glass jar (mason jar) or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Because it uses fresh herbs, it loses its vibrancy after about 4 days, though. Give it a stir before using. We don’t recommend trying to freeze aioli as its oil-based nature and emulsification of mayonnaise can cause it to separate and lose its creamy texture when thawed.
