Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup peeled garlic cloves (155 grams)
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 cups neutral vegetable oil (such as avocado oil)


Instructions

  1. Peel and halve the garlic cloves, removing any green germ to avoid bitterness.
  2. In a tall jug or jar, combine the halved garlic cloves, lemon juice, and salt; blend until a paste forms.
  3. Gradually add in the oil while blending with an immersion blender, starting at the bottom of the jar.
  4. Continue blending until emulsified and creamy—this should take about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate.
