Ingredients

• 6 pieces Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 cup Greek yogurt, non-fat
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Ice water

Directions

Step 1

Peel the garlic cloves and cut off any green sprouts in the center, as they can make the sauce bitter.

Step 2

Using a mortar and pestle or a food processor, mash the garlic with the salt until it forms a smooth paste.

Step 3

Add the lemon juice and blend until fully incorporated with the garlic paste.

Step 4

Mix in the non-fat Greek yogurt, one spoonful at a time, ensuring a creamy consistency.

Step 5

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously stirring or blending to emulsify the sauce.

Step 6

Stir in the ice water to lighten the consistency and make the sauce fluffier.

Step 7

Taste the sauce and adjust the salt or lemon juice to your preference.

Step 8

Transfer the Low Fat Toom to a serving bowl or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
