vegan mayo – I’ve tried a lot of different vegan mayo’s and I personally think Hellmann’s makes the best one.
garlic – The garlic has to be fresh. This will give it that perfect garlicky taste.
lemon juice- Adds a slight tang to the aioli.
salt- To help enhance all the flavors.

Since it is a super simple base, you can make other variations of aioli by, adding sriracha for a spicy kick. You can replace the lemon for cilantro and lime for a zesty dipping sauce. You can even add some smoked paprika for a light smoky flavor. The possibilities are really endless, so get creative!
