Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 1 whole garlic bulb
  • Olive oil (drizzle)
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut the top off of the garlic bulb, approximately 1/2 inch down, so that the tops of each garlic clove is exposed. Place the bulb in a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle olive oil on top. Wrap the foil around the bulb and bake for 20-25 minutes, until cloves are tender.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Let the garlic bulb cool slightly until you're able to handle it; turn upside down and squeeze out the garlic cloves. Chop the cloves to desired size (or alternatively mix into the mayonnaise with a fork to break them apart). Stir into mayonnaise mixture until completely incorporated, being sure to taste test for salt levels again.
  • Serve as a dip, on a sandwich, or with seafood dinner. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days.
