Alpha Gal Friendly Avocado Oil Toum

Toum is the Lebanese garlic sauce that makes everything taste better — bold, creamy, and impossibly fluffy — and this version delivers all of that without a single animal-derived ingredient to worry about. Traditional toum is already free of meat and dairy, but using avocado oil here keeps it completely plant-based and safe for anyone managing a mammalian meat allergy, since there's no risk of hidden animal fats sneaking in. The magic is all in the technique: a slow, patient drizzle of oil into the food processor while alternating with lemon juice and ice water coaxes the garlic into a thick, glossy emulsion that looks and feels almost like whipped cream. Fresh lemon juice brightens the whole thing, and a little fine sea salt ties it together. Spread it on flatbread, swipe it onto roasted vegetables, or use it as a dipping sauce — it's endlessly versatile and keeps well in the fridge for whenever the craving hits.
