Make this ultimate creamy garlic sauce in just 10 minutes. This easy homemade garlic dip recipe delivers rich, bold flavor perfect for drizzling over chicken, fries, or as a versatile condiment for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1/2 cup neutral oil (like canola or sunflower)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (optional, for a mayo-free option, use more oil slowly)

Instructions

  1. Place the peeled garlic cloves, lemon juice, and salt into a food processor. Process until the garlic is finely minced and forms a rough paste.
  2. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the neutral oil in a very thin, steady stream. This slow addition is key to emulsification.
  3. Continue processing for 3 to 5 minutes until the mixture becomes thick, white, and creamy. This creates a Toum-style garlic sauce.
  4. If you prefer a slightly richer, less intense garlic flavor, stop the processor, add the mayonnaise, and pulse a few times to combine.
  5. Taste the garlic sauce and adjust salt or lemon juice as needed.
  6. Transfer the creamy garlic sauce to an airtight container. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For the best results when making this homemade garlic dip, use fresh, firm garlic cloves.
  • If you are making the mayo-free version (Toum style), ensure your oil is added very slowly to achieve the proper emulsion.
  • This versatile condiment keeps well in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Use this garlic white sauce as a pizza garlic sauce or a quick sauce for chicken.
