Please don’t call that Aioli. Aioli/Allioli is made from olive oil and garlic. That’s it only two ingredients. I live in the region that invented it.
Aimee says
Here in the US a lot of people call aioli to mean anything that is a flavored mayonaise, especially with garlic. Sorry you aren’t happy with my recipe for it.

Aimee says
I haven’t seen multiple mayonnaises besides different brands, any should work.
