4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper into a food processor or blender.
Process or blend the ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.

Notes

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.
