- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste

- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and Dijon mustard until well combined.
- Add the minced garlic, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice to the bowl. Continue whisking until all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the mixture while whisking continuously. All this allows to create a smooth and creamy consistency. It's important to add the oil gradually to avoid the aioli from separating.

- Once the aioli is well blended, transfer it to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
