Smoky-flavored bacon aioli is one of the ultimate condiments that needs simple ingredients and is made in a couple of minutes. Mayonnaise is given a flavor uplift with garlic, lemon juice, and smoky crispy bacon.
Cook bacon strips in a skillet until crispy on both sides. Remove from the pan and let it drain on a paper towel. Let it cool.
When the bacon is cool, cut crispy bacon into smaller bits and set aside.
Into a bowl add mayonnaise (store-bought or homemade), minced garlic, freshly squeezed lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to taste.
Reserve 1 teaspoon of bacon for garnish and add the rest of it to the mayonnaise mixture.
Whisk well.
Chill bacon aioli in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
Top with remaining crispy bacon bits on top and sprinkle paprika and serve as a dipping sauce for appetizers or use as a spread for burgers and sandwiches.
