Xanthan Gum Free Avocado Oil Toum

Toum is the garlicky, cloud-like Lebanese condiment that makes everything it touches taste extraordinary — and this version delivers that signature fluffy, almost whipped texture using nothing but whole garlic, lemon juice, ice water, and avocado oil. Many commercial versions and even some homemade recipes lean on stabilizers or additives to hold the emulsion together, but this one achieves its thick, glossy consistency purely through technique. The key is patience: adding the oil in an impossibly thin, slow drizzle while alternating with small additions of lemon juice and ice water coaxes the mixture into a stable, billowy emulsion without any extras. Avocado oil keeps the flavor clean and neutral, letting the sharp, pungent garlic shine without any bitterness. The result is a jar of something genuinely magical — bright, creamy, and intensely savory in the best possible way. Spread it on flatbread, swipe it under roasted vegetables, or use it as a dipping sauce for grilled meats, and watch it disappear faster than you expected.
