Taste and texture:

This dijon aioli sauce is so smooth and creamy. It has a unique flavour that is a little tangy, a little sweet and with hints of mustard. The mustard taste isn't too strong so even if you don't like mustard I bet you will like this aioli. This sauce is not spicy.

Key ingredients and substitutions:

• Mayonnaise - mayonnaise is the key to any great aioli. You can use any type of store bought mayo that you prefer or use homemade mayonnaise. If you are vegan use a vegan mayonnaise.
• Mustard - I prefer to use dijon mustard to make this aioli but you can use any type of mustard that you like.
• Lemon juice - fresh lemon juice helps add even more flavour to this dip and helps make it even more smooth and creamy. I do recommend using fresh lemon juice rather than bottled for the best flavour. Instead of lemon juice you could use apple cider vinegar.
• Maple syrup - adding a little maple syrup adds the perfect amount of sweetness to this aioli to contrast perfectly with the tangy mustard. 
• Spices - simple spices including salt, pepper, onion power and garlic powder help add even more flavour to this aioli recipe.

Tips and variations:

• To make this into a vegan aioli use a vegan mayonnaise.

You can use this mustard mayonnaise in so many ways! It can be used as a dip for raw vegetables, French fries, sweet potato fries, potato wedges, chicken fingers, fish sticks, chips or crackers or as a spread or sauce for sandwiches, panini's or burgers. 

It also makes a great salad dressing and can also be used as a marinade or sauce for fish or meat dishes such as beef, steak, roast beef or chicken. 

You could even use this aioli to top sushi to give it even more flavour or to top roasted vegetables such as Brussels sprouts or artichoke hearts.

Store this aioli in an airtight jar or container in the fridge for up to 14 days. 

I don't recommend trying to freeze this aioli.
