Garlic Aioli

½ cup silken tofu

1 small garlic clove (or roasted garlic for milder flavor) use 2 if stronger garlic flavor desired

1 tsp lemon juice (fresh)

½ tsp Dijon mustard

1–2 tsp olive oil (optional for richness)

Salt to taste

Optional: a dash of smoked paprika or cayenne for a little kick

👩‍🍳

Mince garlic finely, then mash into a paste with a pinch of salt using the flat of your knife — or use a microplane grater for extra-smooth texture.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, and optional olive oil.
Taste and adjust salt, lemon, or garlic. For a smoky note, add a pinch of smoked paprika.
Chill 15–30 minutes before serving — flavors intensify!

🔄 Variations:

Roasted Garlic Version: Roast a garlic clove in the oven (wrapped in foil at 400°F for 20 min) and mash it into the sauce for a mellow, sweet flavor.
