This creamy, cloud-like garlic sauce is bold, bright, and completely addictive — the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste better. Traditional versions of toum can be tricky to navigate on a healing protocol because store-bought garlic sauces often sneak in egg yolks, dairy, or seed oils that aren't protocol-friendly. This version keeps it beautifully simple: just fresh garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, ice water, and avocado oil, all whipped into a thick, fluffy emulsion that looks almost like stiff whipped cream. The key is patience — adding the avocado oil in a slow, steady drizzle while the food processor runs is what builds that signature airy texture without any shortcuts or off-limit ingredients. It comes together in one bowl with minimal cleanup, and the batch makes 16 servings, so you'll have plenty to keep in the fridge all week. Spoon it over roasted vegetables, grilled proteins, or use it as a dipping sauce — it elevates just about any compliant meal without a second thought.

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.
