Ingredients
Scale
1 cup mayonnaise
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper into a small bowl. Let this mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the garlic flavor to infuse the lemon juice.
Add the mayonnaise and olive oil to the bowl.
Whisk the ingredients together vigorously until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy.
Taste the garlic sauce and adjust salt or lemon juice as needed for your preference.
Cover the bowl and chill the sauce in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors fully combine.
Notes
For a restaurant style garlic sauce texture, use an immersion blender for 30 seconds after mixing by hand.
This sauce works well as a garlic dipping sauce for fries or as a drizzle sauce recipe for grilled meats.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
