Steps

1. Begin by placing the garlic cloves and salt in a food processor. Pulse until the garlic is finely minced. 2. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then start the processor again and slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil while it's running. This process is crucial for emulsification. 3. Once the mixture starts to thicken, add the lemon juice gradually, continuing to blend until the sauce is fluffy and creamy. 4. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a tablespoon of water to reach your desired consistency. 5. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then transfer to a serving bowl.

Ingredients
