Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. For an even smoother texture, you can also use a garlic press.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise.
- Grate the lemon to collect about 2 tablespoons of zest. Be careful to only take the yellow outer layer, avoiding the bitter white pith.
- Juice the lemon to get 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
- Add the minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and soy sauce to the bowl with the mayonnaise.
- Using a whisk or a spoon, mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Taste the lemony garlic mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning if needed. For a more robust flavor, you may add a bit more garlic or soy sauce according to your preference.
- Transfer the mixed mayonnaise into a serving bowl or an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Once chilled, serve the lemony garlic mayonnaise as a dip, spread, or sauce. It pairs wonderfully with sandwiches, burgers, grilled meats, seafood, and vegetables.
Tips:
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for a brighter, fresher taste.
- Grate the garlic cloves finely to ensure an even distribution of flavor.
- Make sure to zest the lemon before juicing it, as it's much easier to handle.
- If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, let the mixture sit in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
- Adjust the amount of lemon zest and juice to your taste preference for a more personalized flavor.
