Equipment
- Can Opener
- Sharp Knife
- Blender or Food Processor
- Rubber Spatula
- Squeeze bottle or Glass jar for storage
Ingredients
- ½ cup Garlic cloves peeled
- ¼ cup Aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas)
- ¼ cup Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¾ cup Neutral oil
Instructions
- Add the garlic cloves, aquafaba, lemon juice, and salt to a blender or food processor.
- Blend the ingredients until the sauce is mostly smooth.
- With the blender/processor motor running, slowly drizzle the oil into the blender or food processor until the sauce is smooth, glossy, and emulsified.
- Taste the lemony garlic dressing and blend in more salt, lemon juice, or garlic as needed. Transfer finished sauce to an airtight container or enjoy it right away.
Notes
- Is raw garlic a little too strong for your liking? No problem. Drop the cloves into a pot of boiling water for about 30 seconds, then drain and pat dry. The water will remove some of its strong bite.
- Pour in the oil suuuper slowly. By streaming in a little at a time, you give the oil plenty of time to incorporate with the mashed garlic and aquafaba. You’ll know the dressing is ready when it looks light and fluffy.
- This is optional, but you can blend in a splash or two of ice water right after adding the oil to fluff up the sauce. It’s the secret to making the best homemade hummus and works like a charm here, too!
- No blender or food processor? Whisk the sauce by hand instead. Just finely grate the garlic cloves with a microplane, then whisk the ingredients together in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Slowly drizzle in the oil at the end for that perfect emulsion.
