What is garlic aioli sauce?
Garlic aioli is a versatile condiment that is made using simple ingredients with a mayonnaise base. The addition of garlic cloves and spices creates a flavourful dip that is ideal for dipping truffle fries in – ask us how we know!
Traditional aioli uses fresh garlic for a more in your face flavour, roasting the head of garlic in this recipes yields a more subtle garlic-y flavour that we love.
This easy garlic aioli was developed from the mans obsession with the truffle fries and dip at one of our favorite local restaurants called Central. He orders the same thing every time that we go, the vintage burger and truffle fries.
While I doubt we’d have much luck recreating the iconic burger and fries at home, this aioli has been a winner for sure!

Supplies:
Ingredients:
- 1 head of raw garlic
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup Miracle Whip*
- 3 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
*mayonnaise works too but doesn’t have the added kick like Miracle Whip.
Directions:
1. Gather ingredients.
2. Cut about 1/4″ of the top off of the garlic clove. Remove any of the papery skins that want to come off but do not peel.
I like to roast several heads of garlic ahead of time so that I always have some ready to make this creamy dip.
3. Place garlic heads in a baking dish or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil.
4. Roast the garlic at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes.
5. When the garlic has cooled, remove the garlic pulp from the skin. An easy way to do this is simply squishing it out from the bottom.
6. In a small bowl, mash it together with a fork.
7. In a medium bowl combine the rest of the ingredients.
8. Add the roasted garlic and mix well.
How to store this sauce:
This dressing can be stored in an airtight container or bowl covered in plastic wrap for a week. We like to keep this easy sauce in a mason jar in the fridge to use for dipping at a moments notice.
