Instructions

1
In a tall container or the beaker for an immersion blender, combine the peeled garlic, salt, neutral oil, lemon juice, and cold water.
2
Place the immersion blender at the very bottom of the container, ensuring it's flat against the base.
3
Turn the blender on and hold it still at the bottom. The mixture will begin to emulsify and turn white and creamy from the bottom up as it incorporates the oil.
4
Once the bottom half is emulsified, slowly tilt and lift the blender to incorporate the remaining oil from the top until the sauce is thick and fully combined.
5
The sauce is ready when it's thick, fluffy, and uniform in texture.
