Garlic Aioli Sauce (Garlic Mayo)

Trust me when I tell you that this recipe is a keeper. Simplistic in its ingredients, its versatility makes it so good on so many things. I like to use it on sandwiches, but it can be an awesome salad dressing as well.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 Tbsp minced garlic, 1/2 tsp sea salt and 2 tsp lemon juice; mix well. Slowly drip in 1/2 cup olive oil, stirring constantly. The mixture will thicken as you stir. After stirring for about 2-3 minutes, add 1 tsp Italian seasoning and 1 tsp garlic salt. Mix well and refrigerate. Enjoy Gandy.
I made a sandwich on New Year's Eve that was out of this world. Here is the recipe: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Slice open some french bread; place on a baking sheet. Spread garlic aioli on both sides. Cover both sides with your favorite sliced cheese. (I prefer havarti or a smoked gouda.) Bake 4-6 minutes until cheese is melted. Heat sliced chicken breast and place on top of cheese (one side); pour some BBQ sauce on top of the chicken. Cover chicken breast with fresh spinach leaves and drizzle honey on top. Add more of the garlic aioli and finish off the sandwich. YUM!
