Ingredients

  • 1 cup store-bought mayonnaise*
  • 1 tablespoon dill pickle juice (from a jar of dill pickles)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, plus more to taste
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated
  • Kosher salt

Instructions

  • Add mayo, dill pickle juice, cayenne pepper and garlic to a medium bowl, whisking to combine. Season to taste with salt and more cayenne pepper.
  • Cayenne pepper can vary greatly in heat (depending on how fresh it is), so start with just a 1/2 teaspoon. Add 1/4 teaspoon at a time until the aioli is very spicy, but bearable. I ended up using a total of 1 teaspoon for this batch. Store aioli in fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

*If you'd like to use homemade mayo instead, try my recipe for Homemade Olive Oil Mayonnaise.
