Toum is the garlicky, cloud-like condiment that makes everything it touches taste better ā and this version delivers that signature fluffy, spreadable texture using avocado oil as its fat base. Traditional toum can sometimes hide unexpected additives when bought pre-made, so whipping up a batch at home means you know exactly what's in the jar. The magic here is all in the emulsification: a slow, patient drizzle of oil into the food processor, broken up with alternating hits of fresh lemon juice and ice water, coaxes the garlic into a thick, white, whipped cream-like sauce that's genuinely impressive. Avocado oil keeps the flavor clean and neutral, letting the sharp, punchy garlic shine without any heaviness. It's the kind of condiment that earns a permanent spot in your fridge ā incredible slathered on grilled meats, used as a dip for roasted vegetables, or spread generously inside a wrap. Once it firms up in the refrigerator, the texture becomes even more luxurious and scoopable.

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.
