    Homemade dill aioli is a quick and easy recipe! It can be served as a spread on meat, burgers, and sandwiches, or it makes a great dip or salad dressing. The dill puts a twist on your normal aioli sauce by adding an extra fresh, herb flavor.

    dill aioli

    Aioli is a classic Mediterranean sauce made with garlic, olive oil, and egg yolks. It's often used as a dip for vegetables or a spread for sandwiches. Adding dill takes this sauce to the next level and gives it a fresh herb flavor.

    This dill aioli recipe is made without egg yolks, so you don't have to worry about consuming raw eggs! Instead, the recipe uses mayo as a creamy base.

    Dill aioli is versatile and can be served with many types of entrees. It pairs perfectly with these chicken kabobs! It would also be delicious on these turkey burgers!

    Many people prefer to serve the sauce on fish, such as with salmon, cod, crab cakes or fish sticks. It also goes well with many Mediteranean dishes!

    Ingredients

    dill aioli ingredients

    Garlic: Use fresh garlic cloves for the best flavor. You can also use roasted garlic for a milder, sweeter flavor.

    Dill: Use fresh dill for the best flavor. Dill is sold in a small container in the produce section of the store.

    Mayo: use a good quality mayo. I prefer the product that is made with olive oil, because it's a little bit healthier!

    Lemon juice: adds a little bit of zesty flavor!

    Instructions

    Chop the dill into small pieces. Add all ingredients to a medium mixing bowl.

    Substitutions and Variations

    • Lemon juice: You can substitute the lemon juice with another acidic option such as lime juice, white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
    • Dill: Sub the dill with other fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, or cilantro.
    • Mustard: Add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the aioli for extra flavor and creaminess.

    Expert Tips

    • Use a food processor or immersion blender for a smoother and creamier texture.
    • Season the aioli with salt and pepper to taste, but don't add too much salt as the flavor of the garlic and dill can be overpowering.

    Serving Suggestions

    Dill aioli can be served in many ways! Here are some suggestions:

    • Serve dill aioli as a dip for vegetables, such as carrot sticks, celery, cucumber, or cherry tomatoes.
    • Use dill aioli as a spread on sandwiches, burgers or on meats such as grilled chicken, turkey, or roasted vegetables.
    • Dill aioli pairs well with salmon, cod, and other white fish.
    • Use dill aioli as a sauce for grilled meats, such as lamb chops or beef skewers.
    • Salad dressing: Thin out the dill aioli with a little water or lemon juice and use it as a salad dressing. It would go great with this hawaiian salad!

    The possibilities are endless with dill aioli. Get creative and try it with your favorite dishes!

    Storage and Leftovers

    Store this sauce in the refrigerator in an air tight container for up to 5 days. Since it contains fresh herbs, it will go bad more quickly than your normal aioli sauce.

    Be sure to refrigerate the aioli immediately after using. Leaving it out at room temperature longer than 2 hours causes risk for foodborne illness.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I make dill aioli ahead of time?

    Yes, this can be made ahead of time! Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and mix well before serving.

    Can I freeze this recipe?

    No, it's not recommended to freeze this recipe as it can separate and lose its creamy texture.

    Is this recipe gluten-free?

    Yes, all of the ingredients used to make this recipe are naturally gluten free!

    Can I use dried dill!

    Fresh dill is preferred for best flavor, however you can use dried dill. Use 1 teaspoon of dried dill, as it is stronger than fresh dill.
