    This Lemon Dill Aioli recipe is super simple and only takes 5 minutes to make! The dill and lemon juice combined with the creamy mayo makes for a nice creamy and tangy combination. It truly is the most perfect condiment! We like to serve this sauce with just about any dish. This aioli can be used with proteins or vegetables. It is great to keep in your refrigerator so that you have it on hand for any meal!

    Unlike a traditional aioli that is loaded with many unhealthy fats, this recipe uses avocado mayo which is mayo made with avocado oil vs canola oil. This recipe was inspired by my Whole30 Salmon Cakes. The old bay seasoning in the salmon cakes combined with the dill aioli is oh so delicious and has the BEST flavor! I love the hint of lemon in this dish. It is the key to it pairing as well as it does with seafood but that does not mean it can not be used for other proteins and dishes as well.

    If you love a good dipping sauce like I do, I suggest checking out my Breakfast Burrito Sauce, Dairy Free Pesto, Whole30 BBQ Sauce, and Whole30 Caesar Dressing as well.

    • This recipe is packed with flavor without being overwhelming or overpowering.
    • This tasty sauce can pair well with not just seafood like my Whole30 Salmon Cakes but will also pair well with chicken or other proteins. We also love pairing this sauce with my Gluten Free Homemade Fish Sticks and Homemade French Fries too!

    • This homemade aioli only requires basic ingredients that you likely already have on hand! 

    Ingredients

    Dill aioli ingredients in small glass bowls laid out.
    • Avocado mayonnaise-This is what makes this aioli paleo. This mayonnaise is made with avocado oil instead of canola oil which makes it a lot better for us. If you are not worried about the healthy fats, any kind of mayo will work however I do think a good quality mayo like avocado oil impacts the taste.
    • Dried dill-To give it that dill flavor.
    • Lemon juice-The lemon combined with the dill is by far my favorite combination.
    • Dijon mustard-To add even more flavor.

    See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurement.

    Substitutions and Variations

    • If you are not paleo or diary free, you can use any kind of mayo you prefer.
    • Vegan mayo-If you cannot do the raw eggs in the mayo, I suggest vegan mayonnaise. 
    • If you prefer to use fresh herbs, you can use fresh dill but the measurements will vary. I love the taste of dill! If you do not like as much of a dill flavor, you can always adjust the recipe to lessen the dill amount.

    This recipe has not been tested with other substitutions or variations. If you replace or add any ingredients, let us know how it turns out in the comments below!

    Expert Tips

    • Tip # 1: When mixing the aioli, you will want to make sure you are scraping the sides of the bowl as well as the bottom so that it is well combined.
    • Tip # 2: I love the taste of dill! If you are not as much of a fan, you can scale back the measurement for the dried dill to better suite your preference.
    • Tip # 3: If you choose to use a different brand or type of mayo, the flavor and consistency may differ slightly.
    • Tip #4: For best results, use an immersion blender! It is not 100% necessary 

    Recipe FAQ

    What goes well with this dill aioli?

    We love this aioli with just about anything but especially love it with seafood! It goes so well with my Paleo Salmon Cakes served over greens.

    Can I used pre-juiced lemon juice?

    Yes, but you will want to make sure to carefully read the ingredients label. Lemon juice is a common item to have additives in it.

    Can I use fresh dill?

    Absolutely! The potency of fresh and dried dill are different though. You will need to adjust your measurement to achieve the same flavor.
