How to Make Garlic Lemonnaise

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap an entire head of garlic in foil and roast for 40-45 minutes, or until soft and caramelized. (This step is not included in the 10-minute cook time.)
  2. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins. You should have approximately 1/4 cup of roasted garlic puree.
  3. In a food processor or blender, combine the roasted garlic, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Puree until completely smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lemon juice, salt, or pepper to your liking.
  5. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
