Lemon-Chive Aioli

Aioli is a variation of mayonnaise, featuring garlic and other flavors, that makes a tasty dipping sauce for artichokes and roasted or fried vegetables. You can also use it as a sandwich spread—it’s really good on BLTs. Using a whisk might get tiring, so you can prepare the sauce in a small food processor or blender. I often put the ingredients in a small but deep bowl and use an immersion blender to quickly incorporate the oil.
