This easy Garlic AIP Mayo recipe that is creamy and delicious! It’s perfect on a lettuce wrapped sandwich or for dip for fries.
As my work on creating the book slowly comes to a finish, I am considering tackling the Autoimmune Protocol.
I still have a host of small annoyances that I know have to do with my diet and, I’m just getting tired of dealing with them.
When making drastic changes in my diet I tend to feel, well, trapped; like the world is closing in on me.
However, my eyes have been opened to the amazing recipes you can eat on the Autoimmune Protocol from the book The Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook by my friend Mickey from Autoimmune Paleo.
The book is a must have for anyone thinking of trying the Autoimmune protocol.
It is jam-packed with information and includes a fantastic meal plan, shopping list and gorgeous, easy to make recipes. I love mayo and was amazed and when I saw this vegan garlic mayo recipe in her book.
Buy it! You won’t be disappointed!
Now, a lot of people think that you need eggs to make mayo.
We all know that eggs are a no no on the AIP diet.
So, Mickey was genius enough to realize that you can use a food processor or immersion blender with some coconut butter, olive oil, garlic cloves and make a delicious aip mayo.

Coconut Butter
Extra Virgin Olive Oil

- Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend on high for a minute of two, until thick sauce forms (when freshly made, it should resemble the consistency of conventional mayonnaise).

I have been coveting this book for awhile now… 🙂 my husband has been trying AIP off and on and I struggle to make meat and vegetables have any sort of variety! Would love to have the whole copy and I’m absolutely trying this garlic mayo!
I love me some mayo, especially garlicky mayo. I’m going to try this. I am also new to your blog and love it. Thanks for posting.
My 13 year old daughter is interested in eating healthier, but trying to change the mind of my 88 year old father (that we live with) is a different story. I would love a book full of healthy recipes to jump start things for us.
Can you please explain what ‘coconut concentrate’ is in the recipe? Or include what’s referenced on page 45? Thanks! I really do enjoy your recipes and website. I look forward to your upcoming book. 🙂
Hi Carla, you can use coconut butter or make it from scratch!
If using coconut butter, does the mayo have a strong coconut flavor? If so, would you say the coconut/garlic combo is tasty?
The garlic hides the coconut flavor well
Mayo is one the things I miss since starting paleo….This sounds so yummy. Can’t wait to try it.
I’ve ordered your book from Amazon and it’s been on back order forever it seems. I’ve started the AIP on my own because my pain levels and stomach problems are so bad right now. I’ve got celiac disease. So far, so good. My stomach is calming down some. Really looking forward to your book so I can dig into it.

In reading the ingredients, I noticed that the first one is Coconut Concentrate and it says PAGE 45…I am thinking that this is from the book but I don’t have the book so I’m not sure what is required as this ingredient. Could you please clarify as I’d really like to try this recipe. Thanks so much!
Maria, you can use coconut butter or make it from scratch.
Mmmmm. Garlic mayo without setting off any symptoms. Sound wonderful!
I have also been thinking of trying this diet and this would make it so much easier! I would love to try this recipe, but I don’t have the instructions for the coconut concentrate without the book.
I love Autoimmune Paleo and Mickey! What she does inspires me and has helped me so much with my own cooking with AIP!
Hey Kelly,
The recipe references coconut concentrate, on page 45. Is it here somewhere and I’m missing it?
Sorry Natalie – it’s in the book. It’s a recipe on how to make coconut concentrate from scratch.
I have loved receiving your recipes and updates and would love to check out this cookbook more. Thanks!
This looks really delicious. Thanks for such a great give away.
I am new to the AIP and this book would really help me with other things to eat. I follow “A girl worth saving” and appreciate all of Kelly’s help and recipes.
That garlic mayo sounds delicious. Thank you for posting and thank you, too, for the chance to win the book.
The mayo sounds delicious, AND easy to make.
This sounds yummy! The book sounds wonderful too!
I have been doing paleo for about three months now, and I’m so glad to have read this mayo post! Must try! Other mayo recipes I find considerably lacking, due to the fact that I love mayo in my pre-paleo ways. Thanks
yum…wonder if AIP is my missing link….anyway, thinking on some plantain crackers w/this dip!
Garlic Mayo on deck for later this week – In love with garlic right now! Thinking about Paleo seriously but just can’t get there yet. Clean Eating, I believe, is where I am now. Love your emails, don’t do too much with fb, but will take a look. 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and recipes. I will be trying your mayo soon! You are quite an inspiration to me..just another real girl trying to heal herself….just like ME! 🙂
I’ve never heard of the autoimmune protocol. I’m going to have to do some investigating. 🙂
Thanks for sharing this recipe and the info.
I would love to win the book. I am feeling better, but know that I am far from being better. Thank you for your awesome recipes! 🙂 I made your italian bread (rolls) and they were very tasty! Next I want to try your sandwich buns and much more
Looks wonderful! I know I would get so much use out of a book like that, and it would be so helpful in my healing journey:)
I cannot wait to try this mayo recipe. I so miss making my own, since I love it and stopped using canola years ago. Thanks for the contest!
Hi!
I just made this exactly as described but mine came out quite thin/liquidy. Would you recommend just less water or also less oil too?
Hi AJ! If it came out too thin, you can try reducing the water slightly or blending for a bit longer to help it emulsify. Adding the oil slowly while blending can also help create a thicker mayo. Let me know how it goes!
