Ingredients:
- Plain Greek yogurt. Be sure to get plain. I don’t recommend getting flavors involved here. It will interfere with the flavors brought by the remaining ingredients. You can use the fat level you prefer. In my experience, full-fat gives the best flavor.
- Mayo. This is optional. If you don’t have mayo or dislike mayo, you can use all Greek yogurt. I really like the flavor that a bit of mayo brings though. It makes the aioli more complex. That being said, I have tried ALL sorts of ratios and variations over the years. This is a flexible recipe and you can customize it to your preference and pantry!
- Garlic. Fresh garlic. Lots of it if you like a strong garlic flavor! Helllllo nitric oxide boost!
- Fresh parsley. I like this best with fresh parsley, but I have also used dried parsley when I’m out of fresh. Cilantro is another option, though it does result in a different flavor profile. The amount you add is flexible as well, add until you like the flavor, texture and color of the sauce.
- Black pepper. Lots of it.
- Fresh lemon juice. Enough to get the sauce texture you want.
