- Mayonnaise - is the key to any great aioli. You can use any type of store bought mayo that you prefer or use homemade mayonnaise.
- Horseradish - either grated fresh horseradish root or jarred horseradish works for this recipe. If you are using jarred horseradish be sure to drain off any excess liquid prior to adding it to the sauce.
- Dijon mustard - to add even more delicious flavour to this horseradish aioli.
- Maple syrup - adds the perfect amount of sweetness while keeping it refined sugar free.
- Lemon juice - I recommend using fresh lemon juice rather than bottled lemon juice for the best flavour. Instead of lemon juice you could use apple cider vinegar.
- Seasonings and spices - salt, ground black pepper, onion power and garlic powder help add even more flavour to this aioli recipe.
Recipe variations:
- For a sweeter horseradish aioli: add an extra 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup.
- If you want an ever stronger horseradish flavour add an extra tablespoon of horseradish.
- If you prefer a milder horseradish sauce use jarred horseradish rather than fresh horseradish as fresh has a stronger flavour.
- To make this horseradish aioli vegan: use a vegan mayonnaise.
- To turn this into garlic horseradish aioli: add 1-2 cloves crushed fresh garlic.
