Ingredients
- 8 pieces fresh garlic cloves
- 0.25 cups extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 cups mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoons honey (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the garlic cloves and slice off any tough ends to ensure a smooth sauce texture.
Step 2
In a small skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic cloves and sauté for 4-5 minutes until soft and lightly golden, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Step 3
Transfer the sautéed garlic cloves and the olive oil they cooked in to a blender or food processor.
Step 4
Add the mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey (if using), salt, black pepper, and water to the blender.
Step 5
Blend the mixture on high for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender halfway through blending as needed.
Step 6
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. If a thinner consistency is desired, add a bit more water and blend again briefly.
Step 7
Pour the garlic sauce into a serving dish or an airtight container. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to one week.
