- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 small jalapeño deseeded and chopped (optional for heat)
- Salt to taste

Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Mince the garlic and cilantro, and chop the jalapeño (if using).
- Blend the Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, add the avocado, mayonnaise, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Season to Taste: Taste the aioli and add salt and pepper to your liking. If you prefer a tangier flavor, add more lime juice.

Notes
- Avocado ripeness is key! Make sure your avocado is soft but not mushy for the smoothest texture.
- Spice Level: If you like more heat, leave the seeds in the jalapeño or add extra hot sauce.
- This aioli stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days. If the avocado starts browning, just give it a quick stir.
- Make it vegan by using vegan mayo or Greek yogurt as a substitute for the mayonnaise.
