Toum is the Lebanese garlic sauce that makes everything it touches taste more alive ā bright, creamy, and punchy in the best possible way. This version is made with avocado oil, which emulsifies beautifully and keeps the flavor clean without any bitterness that cheaper oils can introduce. The whole process happens in a food processor, and the trick is patience: a slow, steady drizzle of oil alternating with lemon juice and ice water is what transforms raw garlic and salt into something impossibly fluffy and white, almost like a savory whipped cream. There's no sweetener of any kind in here ā just four pure ingredients doing exactly what they're supposed to do. Store-bought garlic sauces and condiments often sneak in added sugars to balance sharpness or extend shelf life, so making your own puts you fully in control. Once it's chilled, it firms up into a spreadable, scoopable condiment that's incredible alongside roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or tucked into a wrap. A single batch goes a long way, and it keeps well in the fridge for whenever the craving hits.

Place the peeled garlic cloves and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Process for about 1 minute, stopping to scrape down the sides twice, until the garlic is finely minced and paste-like.
With the food processor running, add 1 tbsp of the lemon juice and process for 30 seconds until the garlic absorbs it and the mixture looks slightly fluffy.
