Ingredients
1 bulb garlic
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise (or vegan mayo)
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp lemon juice
Salt to taste
Optional: 1–2 tbsp water to thin
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix until creamy and well combined.
- Optional: Add water gradually to thin the sauce to desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice as needed.
