5 Ingredient Toum (Fluffy Garlic Sauce)

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is healthier due to its monounsaturated fats.

Add the garlic cloves, water, and salt to a food processor and pulse until everything begins to blend together in an even consistency.

Slowly add the oil to the mix while continuing to blend. If your food processor doesn't allow this, add the oil a few tablespoons at a time, processing in between. This should take several minutes; keep this going until the mixture emulsifies and begins to become light and fluffy.

Once all of the oil has been added, add the lemon juice, a few tablespoons at a time, while continuing to process everything together.

Store the toum in the fridge and use in sauces, dips, and more!
