Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Add garlic cloves and salt to a food processor. Pulse until minced and fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    With the processor running, slowly drizzle in oil until the mixture turns pale and creamy, 3–4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Dissolve potato starch in 1 tbsp cold water, then add it to the processor while running.

  4. Step 4

    Continue blending and slowly add lemon juice until the sauce is fluffy and holds soft peaks, 2–3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Taste and adjust salt or lemon juice. Transfer to a bowl and serve at room temperature.
