This homemade Garlic Aioli recipe is rich, creamy, and infused with bold garlicky citrus flavors and it’s lighter than traditional aioli. This recipe uses a combination of Greek yogurt and mayonnaise for a fuss-free condiment that everyone will love.

The Best Lightened-Up Garlic Aioli

This garlic aioli recipe has all the rich, tangy flavor of traditional versions but it’s on the lighter side! Instead of using only mayonnaise, the base of this recipe is Greek yogurt which keeps this aioli protein packed and a bit lighter while still being packed with flavor. This version is ten times better than any store-bought version and it’s become a staple in my kitchen. Try it for yourself, and you’ll find yourself wanting to put it on everything you eat!

Recipe Ingredients

Garlic: fresh garlic cloves are always best in this recipe but if you don’t have any on hand, pre-minced garlic will also work.
Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice really brightens up the aioli and adds the most delicious flavor.
Dijon Mustard: I like to include a little Dijon mustard to add some additional flavor.
Greek Yogurt: I prefer to use whole-milk Greek yogurt for this recipe, but low-fat or non-fat will also work.
Mayonnaise: When choosing a mayonnaise, I like to look for one that is made from avocado or olive oil. Above all, be sure to choose a mayo that you actually enjoy the taste of because it helps form the base of this sauce.

Ashlea’s Tips and Tricks

Use low-fat or whole milk yogurt for a richer, creamier aioli! Non-fat yogurt will also work really well but I find it to be on the tangier side.
If you don’t care about making a “lighter” aioli, you can use all mayonnaise in this recipe!
To save time you can use frozen crushed garlic!
Let the aioli flavors meld in the fridge for an hour so before serving for maximum flavor.

Ways to Use

I love to use this recipe as a condiment on sandwiches or burgers. A few of my favorite are these avocado turkey burgers or my slow cooker Italian beef sandwiches!

However, it’s also great as a dipping sauce with crispy baked potato wedges and air fryer French fries.

How to Store

You can store this sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for 5 to 7 days. I love to use a mason jar with a lid for storage.
