How To Make Keto Aioli
I use store-bought mayonnaise as the base and then add flavors that transform the sauce. I know some recipes make homemade mayo as the base, and if you are up for that, go for it. I find reaching for a quality mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip) will still offer richness to the sauce.
Step One: First, you want to start out by mincing up your garlic really fine.
Step Two: Then add to a bowl along with your mayo, stone-ground mustard, lemon juice, and cayenne. Give a good whisk until well incorporated. Store in the fridge until you are ready to serve this.
Common Questions
Is Mayo Keto?
A lot of people wonder is mayo keto? The short answer is yes. You want to watch for added sugar and preservatives but mayo is primarily oil plus eggs so both of those ingredients are keto friendly.
Is Aioli just Mayonnaise
My keto aioli sauce has mayonnaise as the base of the sauce, but by adding in fresh lemon, garlic, and more it adds such flavor and depth to the mayo I think it makes it stand out from being called 'just mayo.'
How to Crush Garlic Without A Garlic Press
You want to make sure your garlic is excellent, so mince it super small. What I do is take the flat part of a knife and set it over the peeled garlic and smash it with my hand. Then once your garlic is smashed, start dicing it up, so it is minced. Then scrape the garlic into a bowl and mix with the rest of your ingredients.
Ways To Use Aioli Sauce
Create a homemade tartar sauce with this as the base
Dip chips or fresh veggies in the aioli
Spread onto sandwiches in replace of mayo or mustard
Top meats with it for mealtime
Season steamed or roasted vegetables with this sauce
Or eat however else sounds good.
There is no wrong way to eat this keto aioli. We use it for so many things in our kitchen; I just can't get enough of it. If you like garlic, stone mustard, and mayo, I think this recipe will fit your liking.
Can You Freeze Aioli
I hate to say it, but this aioli recipe will not freeze well. The sauce will separate as it thaws from being frozen, leaving you something that is less than appealing.
Best Way to Store Aioli Sauce
You will want to store the keto aioli sauce in the fridge until you are ready to serve. Any leftovers you may have, keep in the refrigerator until you are prepared. This sauce will last around three days in the fridge. Just give a good stir before using each time.
Can I Make Aioli with Mayo Ahead of Time
You can make it ahead of time. The farthest in advance I would make this is about one day. After that, you will be getting the altered flavor of the sauce as it sets and the garlic begins to grow pungent. So feel free to make 24 hours in advance, anything longer I would wait till it becomes closer to time you plan to serve.
If you are looking for ways to dress up your dishes, give this homemade garlic aioli a try. My whole family enjoys the rich and savory flavors of this keto sauce.

What Is Aioli? Aioli is a mayonnaise based sauce with lemon juice and garlic. Commonly used in Spanish cuisine, it pairs wonderfully with burgers, fries, vegetables, potatoes, chicken, or even sandwiches. It has minimal ingredients, is gluten and dairy-free, and comes together in less than 5 minutes.
Mayonnaise is an essential item on the keto diet – it's high in fat, packs a flavour punch and brings your salads to life. As long as there is no breading on that grilled chicken, and no sugar added to the chicken seasoning or the garlic mayo you are good to go.
Although aioli and mayonnaise are both creamy emulsions, aioli is made from garlic and olive oil while mayo is made from egg yolks and canola oil. The final result may look similar but the two sauces have distinctly different flavors.
Both are used to describe a Mediterranean sauce or dip that originated in Catalonia, in the northeast of Spain, and across the border on the French Mediterranean coast. The term 'aioli' is more commonly used in French and English, while 'alioli' is also used in Spanish and Catalan.
Mayonnaise is the perfect condiment for the Keto Diet because it consists of high fat, low protein, and zero carbohydrates. It also has many health benefits that can help you maintain Ketosis and achieve your weight loss goals on the Keto diet.
Fresh garlic is keto-friendly when used as a spice either raw or cooked. According to the USDA FoodData Central Database, one garlic clove (3g) has 0.992 grams of total carbohydrates and 0.063 grams of fiber. That gives one fresh garlic clove just 0.929 net carbs.
Answer: At less than 1 g of net carbs, Hellman's mayonnaise is great for keto. When it comes to condiments, America's favorite is Hellman's mayonnaise. Keto eaters love it because it's low in carbs, high in good fat, and makes keto recipes delicious.
There is an ongoing debate as to whether an aioli is healthier than its cousin mayonnaise. Mayo is essentially any neutral flavored oil, with egg yolk, vinegar and lemon juice, whereas an aioli begins with pounding garlic, which has many health benefits, with a mortar and pestle and using olive oil instead of canola.
Unlike mayonnaise, which is made by emulsifying oil into egg yolks, aioli is made by pounding garlic into a paste and then gradually adding olive oil to the mixture, creating a thick and creamy sauce. The garlic gives aioli its characteristic pungent flavor, while the olive oil adds richness and depth.
True aioli is an emulsion of just mashed garlic, olive oil and a pinch of salt. Making it is laborious, because you have to add the oil a drop at a time, pounding it together with a mortar and pestle. Aioli is extremely thick and used as an ingredient in traditional Mediterranean dishes.
I love aioli, of all types. Though making your own aioli (like mayonnaise) calls for raw egg yolks. Food safety in mind, I prefer to temper my eggs in a double boiler, much like one does when making hollandaise sauce. Alternatively, these days, you can purchase pasteurized eggs in most grocery stores.
But, as they do, things change. Nowadays, the word aioli is pretty much synonymous with mayo, and is often just a simple mayonnaise (store-bought or homemade) that is flavored generously with garlic—a nod to its origins.
What is aioli sauce made of? At it's simplest, an aioli recipe starts with egg yolks and olive oil which is seasoned with a little lemon juice, a generous pinch of salt, maybe a little dijon mustard, and most often garlic. The two liquids are emulsified together so they don't separate over time.
Garlic aioli is made with just a few pantry-friendly ingredients that create an intensely savory swirl of flavor. Lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper mix with mayonnaise for a pleasantly sharp taste that you're sure to love.
Yes, in most cases mayonnaise is gluten-free. Mayonnaise or “mayo” is typically made from naturally gluten-free ingredients: eggs, oil, vinegar, lemon and sometimes mustard/mustard seed or other spices.
