Garlic sauce is a flavorful condiment commonly found in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and European cuisines. Its primary ingredients are fresh garlic, oil, lemon juice, and often salt, blended into a creamy or slightly chunky texture. Variations may include yogurt, mayonnaise, or vinegar, depending on regional preferences. Rich in bold, savory taste, garlic sauce complements grilled meats, vegetables, and breads. Garlic, the star ingredient, is celebrated for its potential health benefits—such as supporting immune function, heart health, and possessing anti-inflammatory properties. However, the sauce's nutritional profile varies with preparation; oil-heavy versions are calorie-dense and high in fat, while yogurt-based recipes can offer a lighter alternative with added probiotics. Moderation is key for enjoying garlic sauce as part of a balanced diet, making it a zesty way to boost flavor without excessive guilt.
