I mix lemon juice and olive oil (about equal parts, but you can adjust to
your own taste) with salt, garlic, green onions, and herbs (oregano, basil,
and thyme) no particular amounts, just what feels right, and then I taste
and adjust.

Aioli, the famous garlic mayonnaise of Provence
-----------------------------------------------
4-6 large garlic cloves, peeled
2 egg yolks, lightly beaten--at room temperature
about 2 cups olive oil--at room temperature
lukewarm water
juice of 1 lemon
Pound the garlic cloves to a paste. Add the egg yolks. Mix in a bowl with
a wooden spoon (or use a marble mortar and wooden pestle), always turning
in one direction, until the garlic and eggs have assimilated and are just
beginning to get pale. While doing this, add about 4 Tbsp. of oil, very
very slowly, drop by drop. The mixture should be thick. Add 1 Tbsp of water
and 1 tsp of lemon juice and continue stirring, adding the oil in a very
thin stream. When the mixture gets too thick again, add 1 more tsp. each
water and lemon juice. Repeat until all oil is used. If the mayonnaise
separates, Put it into a clean bowl. Add a garlic clove, 1 tsp of lukewarm
water, and 1 egg yolk. Crush and mix together. Add the separated mayonnaise
by teaspoons to the bowl, stirring constantly in one direction.
