Lemon Garlic Aioli

Ingredients

• 2 egg yolks
• 4 medium cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
• 1/2 cup avocado oil
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
• 1/2 medium lemon (juice and zest)

Instructions

1. 1

   Add egg yolks, garlic, and avocado oil to a 2-cup glass measuring cup (or other container that is just large enough to allow the head of your blender to reach the bottom); allow oil to settle. Place the head of an immersion blender on the bottom of the pitcher; turn it on to its highest speed. When you see aioli beginning to form, slowly lift the blender head from the bottom and move it up and down and side to side until all of the oil is incorporated. (recipe note #1)

2. 2

   For easier whisking, transfer to medium bowl and add olive oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly until emulsified. Whisk in salt and lemon juice and zest. (recipe note #2) Taste for seasoning and add salt as desired; serve or refrigerate. Store refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 4 days.
