Vegan aioli is a delicious and versatile condiment that can enhance sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. Making it at home with plant-based ingredients is simple, healthy, and customizable to your taste preferences.
Ingredients Needed
- 1 cup aquafaba (chickpea brine)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup neutral plant-based oil (such as sunflower or light olive oil)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
Start by combining the aquafaba, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar in a blender or food processor. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the plant-based oil. Continue blending until the mixture thickens and reaches a creamy consistency similar to traditional aioli.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Blend again to incorporate all the flavors evenly.
Tips for Success
- Use a neutral oil to keep the flavor light.
- If the aioli is too thick, add a teaspoon of water and blend again.
- Adjust lemon juice and seasonings to taste for a tangier or milder flavor.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
