    This horseradish aioli recipe is rich and creamy and loaded with the zingy flavors of garlic, lemon, and horseradish. It's a kick of flavor with every dip!

    I love the kick of horseradish in almost everything, but it's especially great in this creamy aioli. I love to use it for dipping and topping sandwiches and burgers.

    Horseradish Aioli Recipe

    This horseradish aioli was inspired by my other spicy aioli recipe and my horseradish dip on this site. This dip pairs well with this amazing nacho fries recipe or our air fryer frozen sweet potato fries among others.

    Ingredients

    It only takes a handful of simple ingredients to make this delicious recipe.

    • Mayonnaise
    • Prepared horseradish - well-drained
    • Grated garlic
    • Fresh lemon juice
    • Kosher salt

    Instructions

    It only takes 2 steps to make this super easy recipe.

    Step 1: Prep

    Drain the horseradish and grate the garlic clove.

    Step 2: Mix All Ingredients

    Mix all the aioli ingredients well. Place in a container with a tight-fitting lid like a mason jar and chill for at least an hour before serving.

    Hint: The longer you chill this sauce, the better it will be. Make it the day before serving for best results.
