- 4
With the food processor running, slowly pour in one to two tablespoons of oil, then stop and scrape down the bowl.
- 5
Continue adding another tablespoon or two of oil until the garlic starts looking creamy.
- 6
Once the garlic looks emulsified, increase the speed of pouring the oil and alternate with the 1/2 cup of lemon juice until all the oil and lemon juice is incorporated.
- 7

The next day, replace the paper towel with an airtight lid and keep in the fridge for up to 3 months.
Creator's notes
When there's no time to make a fresh batch, the creator uses Toom Garlic Dip as the closest store-bought stand-in — as a sauce, dip, or spread, or even as a substitute when a recipe calls for oil, garlic, and lemon juice.
