Purple Ruffles Basil Aioli

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp Purple Ruffles Basil, chopped

1 tsp. Lemon juice

Add garlic, basil, and lemon juice to food processor and puree until it becomes a paste. Add the mayonnaise and pulse 2-3 times to mix. Drizzle oil while running the food processor in a light stream to combine with the mayonnaise mixture until very smooth. Grind a generous amount of black pepper over the top.
