  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper into a food processor or blender.

Notes

  • For a Garlic Parmesan Sauce variation, add 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese before blending.
  • To make a thinner sauce for drizzling, add 1 tablespoon of water or milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  • This sauce works well as a dip for breadsticks or roasted vegetables.
