In a small bowl, mash the black garlic into a smooth paste if you haven’t already.
Whisk together mayo, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and lemon juice until it’s creamy and cohesive.
Stir in the garlic paste. Add honey or maple syrup if you want a touch of sweetness.
Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Taste, adjust, repeat—that’s the flavor game.
Transfer to a jar or bowl. Chill for at least 15 minutes to let flavors mingle.
