Aioli Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic (or ¼ teaspoon garlic powder)
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, grated or minced garlic, cayenne pepper powder, and Dijon mustard until fully combined.

Notes
- For a milder garlic flavor, substitute fresh garlic with garlic powder.
- Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper based on your spice preference.
- Lemon juice is optional but adds a nice tangy brightness to the aioli.
