Tips:

  • Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic provides the best flavor for this dressing. If you only have garlic powder, use 1/4 teaspoon instead of the 2 cloves of garlic called for in the recipe.
  • Don't overcook the garlic: Cooking the garlic for too long will make it bitter. Just cook it until it is fragrant and slightly softened, about 30 seconds.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is the base of this dressing, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil, and that has a thick and creamy texture.
  • Adjust the seasonings to taste: This dressing is a great starting point, but you can adjust the seasonings to taste. If you like a more garlicky dressing, add more garlic. If you like a more tangy dressing, add more lemon juice. If you like a more creamy dressing, add more mayonnaise.
  • Use the dressing on a variety of dishes: This dressing is great on salads, but it can also be used as a marinade for chicken or fish, or as a dipping sauce for vegetables.

Conclusion:

This quick and creamy garlic dressing is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and creamy dressing, give this recipe a try.
