Lemony garlic mayonnaise

Lemony garlic mayonnaise is a flavorful and zesty condiment that can elevate any dish. Perfect for sandwiches, dips, or as a dressing, this recipe combines the tangy freshness of lemon with the rich creaminess of mayonnaise and the robust flavor of garlic. The addition of soy sauce gives it a unique depth of flavor, making it an incredibly versatile sauce to have on hand.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup mayonnaise
120g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
2 tbsp lemon juice
10g
1 tsp soy sauce
5g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Garlic:
- Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. For an even smoother texture, you can also use a garlic press.
2. Combine the Ingredients:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise.
3. Add Lemon Elements:
- 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.
4. Blend in the Flavors:
- Add the minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and soy sauce to the bowl with the mayonnaise.
5. Mix Thoroughly:
- Using a whisk or a spoon, mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
6. Adjust Seasonings (Optional):
- 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.
7. Chill:
- 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.
8. Serve:
- 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.

This lemony garlic mayonnaise is a quick and easy way to add a burst of flavor to your meals. Whether used as a spread, dip, or dressing, its vibrant taste and creamy texture make it a delightful addition to various dishes. With just a few basic ingredients and some simple steps, you can create a versatile and delicious condiment that will impress your friends and family.
