Garlic Greek Yogurt Aioli Sauce

This low-calorie Garlic Greek Yogurt Aioli is basically a garlic yogurt sauce that can be swapped in for high-fat garlic aioli. The creamy texture, tangy flavor and bold garlic make it just as delicious as traditional aioli sauce but with one-quarter of the calories!

Why We Love This Light and Healthy All-Purpose Aioli Recipe

This 5-minute recipe for Greek Yogurt Aioli has countless uses! It is the perfect healthier condiment for dipping and spreading in place of full-fat mayonnaise or regular aioli.

Just like traditional aioli sauce made with raw egg yolk and oil, this healthier Greek Yogurt-based alternative is the perfect addition to burgers and sandwiches, to serve with oven fries or to accompany steamed mussels.

Recipe Highlights

Low Calorie: While regular aioli has 194 calories per 2-tablespoon serving, this low-calorie version has only 57 calories for 2 tablespoons! Classic Aioli Taste and Creamy Texture: We used a small amount of real mayonnaise. Just enough to give it classic taste! The Greek Yogurt gives it plenty of creamy texture.Bold and Tangy Garlic Flavor: We added in fresh garlic, tangy vinegar (or lemon juice) and a little salt to balance it all out. Adaptable: Can be used as a base for many flavorful variations such as remoulade, rouille or tarragon aioli. See more variations to try here.

Ingredients For This Garlic Yogurt Aioli Sauce

Greek Yogurt: You can use either full-fat, reduced-fat or fat-free greek yogurt. I like to use fat free for the biggest calorie saving.Mayonnaise: To give the aioli an authentic taste it is important to add just a little mayonnaise. This adds a little fat which helps with the taste and mouthfeel. It also adds the essential aioli flavor.White Wine Vinegar: This adds acidity. We liked this a bit better than the version with fresh lemon juice, but either work.Garlic: I added in 1 clove raw garlic. You can also try this with a little pureed roasted garlic confit. Salt: to balance the acidity, it also needs a little salt

Instructions

Combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, vinegar (or lemon) and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
