Ingredients
2
garlic cloves
peeled, and chopped
juice of one lemon
1
cup
mayonnaise
I used Best Foods vegan mayonnaise here, but any good mayonnaise will do.
ΒΌ
cup
olive oil
extra virgin
2
Tbsp
za'atar
can be substituted with 1 Tbsp sumac for a lemony aioli
salt and pepper
to taste
Instructions
Place your chopped garlic and your lemon juice in a food processor, and allow to sit for 10 minutes. This helps the garlic 'bite' to mellow a bit.
After 10 minutes, blend your lemon and garlic, then add your mayo. Process until fully combined.
Slowly, while the processor is running, drizzle your olive oil into the mixture, until it incorporates.
Finally, add your za'atar for a final blending, and salt and pepper to taste.
