Is Aioli Just Mayonnaise?
No, aioli is not just mayonnaise. While both aioli and mayonnaise share a similar creamy texture and can be used as a sauce or condiment, aioli has a distinct flavor profile. It is traditionally made with garlic, olive oil, and egg yolks, while mayonnaise typically contains neutral-flavored oil and vinegar or lemon juice. Additionally, traditional aioli does not contain mustard, which is a common ingredient in mayonnaise.
