Tips:
- For a deeper garlic flavor, roast the garlic cloves until they are soft and golden brown.
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best tangy taste.
- Adjust the lime zest and juice to match your taste preference; more zest for a stronger lime flavor, or more juice for additional tanginess.
- Make sure to whisk the ingredients well to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
- Allow the aioli to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
