Step 1
Add garlic and salt to a food processor. Pulse until garlic is finely minced, about 30 seconds.
Step 2
With processor running, add oil very slowly — a thin stream, starting with a few drops. The sauce will begin to emulsify and turn pale.
Step 3
Once the sauce is fluffy and light (after about 2/3 of the oil is in), add half the lemon juice and pulse.
Step 4
Slowly add remaining oil while pulsing, alternating with a few drops of lemon juice and ice water to keep it whipping.
Step 5
Stop when the sauce is thick, fluffy, and pale yellow — like mayonnaise. Taste and adjust lemon or salt as needed.
Step 6
Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately with crostini, tomatoes, and microgreens.
