Whip up this incredibly rich, smooth, and versatile creamy garlic sauce in just 10 minutes using only 5 simple ingredients. It is the best homemade sauce for chicken, pasta, or dipping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise (use a high-quality brand for best results)
  • 1/2 cup Water (cold)
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 6 large cloves Fresh Garlic (peeled)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Place the peeled garlic cloves, cold water, and lemon juice into a small food processor or high-speed blender. Process until the garlic is completely minced and the mixture is slightly frothy.
  2. Add the mayonnaise and salt to the blender. Blend on high speed until the sauce is completely smooth, thick, and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Taste the sauce and adjust salt if necessary. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add one teaspoon of cold water at a time until you reach your desired texture.
  4. Transfer the creamy garlic sauce to an airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to fully meld.
  5. Serve this sauce drizzled over grilled chicken, tossed with pasta, or as a dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For an even bolder garlic flavor, you can roast the garlic cloves before blending, though this will increase the total time.
  • This sauce is fantastic for meal planning; it keeps well in the fridge for up to one week.
  • If you are looking for alternatives to traditional meal planning, this quick sauce can save time on weeknight dinners.
  • If you want to try a different flavor profile, this base works well with a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of white vinegar.
