  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice, fresh
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

  2. Whisk the ingredients together until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste the sauce and adjust salt or pepper if needed.
  4. For best flavor, cover the bowl and chill the garlic sauce in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • To make a Garlic Parmesan variation, add 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese during step 2.
  • If you prefer a thinner sauce for drizzling, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of water until you reach your desired consistency.
  • This sauce is a great alternative to relying on meal planning services for quick flavor additions to weeknight meals.
