Ingredients
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Ice water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Canola oil
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt, low-fat
Directions
Step 1
Peel and trim the ends of the garlic cloves. It’s recommended to use fresh, firm garlic for the most potent flavor.
Step 2
In a food processor, add the garlic, lemon juice, ice water, and salt. Pulse until the garlic is minced and mixture is well combined.
Step 3
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the canola oil in a thin, steady stream. This process should take about 2-3 minutes. Ensure the oil is emulsifying with the garlic mixture to create a smooth base.
Step 4
Once the oil is incorporated, stop the processor and add the low-fat Greek yogurt. Blend until the yogurt is fully mixed into the garlic and oil emulsion.
Step 5
Taste the toum and adjust the salt or lemon juice, if necessary, blending again briefly to incorporate any additions.
Step 6
Transfer the toum to a container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This resting period allows the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Step 7
Serve as a dip, spread, or condiment with your favorite dishes. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
