5 Ingredient Toum (Fluffy Garlic Sauce)
Today we're making a Lebanese garlic sauce called toum that comes together with 5 simple ingredients: garlic, lemon juice, oil, and salt. It's whipped to fluffy perfection in a food processor and makes a wonderful addition to sauces, dressings, dips, garlic breads, and just about anywhere you'd use garlic.

Slowly add the oil to the mix while continuing to blend. If your food processor doesn’t allow this, add the oil a few tablespoons at a time, processing in between. This should take several minutes; keep this going until the mixture emulsifies and begins to become light and fluffy.
