Low FODMAP Dijon-Thyme Aioli
Creamy, garlicky aioli is one of those condiments that makes everything it touches taste more special — and this version delivers all that richness with fresh thyme woven right through it. The trick to getting that classic garlic flavor without the gut-unfriendly fructans is garlic-infused oil, which carries all the savory depth while leaving the problematic solids behind. A slow, steady pour of oil into the egg yolk base is what builds that lush, ribbon-thick emulsion, so patience in those first few drops pays off in a big way. Dijon mustard and a splash of white wine vinegar keep the flavor bright and balanced, while fresh thyme adds an herby lift that feels genuinely restaurant-worthy. It comes together in one bowl with no cooking required, and a batch of eight servings keeps in the fridge for up to three days — ready to dress up grilled proteins, roasted vegetables, or anything else that deserves a serious upgrade.

8 servings
- 2 pasteurized egg yolks
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ½ tsp white wine vinegar
- ¾ cup garlic-infused oil (oil only — discard any garlic solids)
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
- ¼ tsp fine salt
- ⅛ tsp ground white pepper
Instructions
- 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the pasteurized egg yolks, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and white wine vinegar until smooth and slightly thickened, about 30 seconds.

While whisking constantly, add the garlic-infused oil in a very thin, steady stream — almost drop by drop for the first 2 tbsp — until the mixture begins to thicken and turn pale. Once an emulsion has formed and the mixture is visibly creamy, you can pour the remaining oil in a thin but slightly faster stream, whisking continuously until all the oil is incorporated and the aioli is thick enough to hold a ribbon when the whisk is lifted.
