• juice of 2 lemons
• sea salt
• 2 tablespoons plain yogurt (optional)

Instructions

Prepar the Garlic:

1. Peel 8 ounces of fresh garlic cloves and place them into a large mason jar or a container suitable for an immersion blender.
2. Pour in enough canola oil to completely cover the garlic cloves.
3. Add the juice of 2 lemons and sea salt to taste.
4. Blend the mixture using an immersion blender, moving it up and down until the garlic emulsifies and transforms into a smooth, white, creamy consistency.
5. Incorporate 2 tablespoons plain yogurt, if desired, for a milder garlic flavor and extra creaminess.
6. Continue blending until the dip becomes light, fluffy, and completely smooth.

Serve:

1. Serve with fresh pita bread, shawarma, lahma, salads, rice dishes, or any meal that could benefit from a rich garlic flavor and enjoy.

Notes

Storage Tips:

Store the garlic dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For the best flavor and texture, always use a clean spoon when serving to avoid introducing moisture or contaminants. If the dip separates slightly during storage, simply give it a quick stir before serving.
