Vegan Aioli FAQS
Absolutely! You can add different herbs and spices, such as basil, dill, or smoked paprika, to create new flavor combinations.
In modern culinary practices, the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, especially outside the regions where aioli originated, so you may find aioli that is essentially garlic mayonnaise. But if you're aiming for an authentic aioli, it would differ from garlic-flavored mayonnaise.
Store the aioli in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7-10 days—just give it a quick stir before serving!
