Ingredients

• 120 ml Aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas)
• 30 ml Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 30 ml Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum

Directions

Step 1

1. Begin by draining a can of chickpeas and reserving 120 ml of the aquafaba (the liquid from the can).

Step 2

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the aquafaba, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

Step 3

3. Using a hand blender or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the mixture on high speed until soft peaks start to form. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

4. Gradually drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to whip. This will help to stabilize the foam and contribute to the creamy texture of the sauce.

Step 5

5. Once the olive oil is fully incorporated and the foam is thickened, gently fold in the parsley, dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

6. Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the mixture and whisk gently to fully combine. The xanthan gum will help stabilize the foam and maintain its airy texture.

Step 7

7. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if needed.

Step 8

8. Serve immediately by drizzling the foam sauce over your desired dish or pour it into a squeeze bottle for more controlled application.

Step 9

9. Store any leftover foam sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though it is best used fresh.
