Ingredients

  • 8-10 cloves black garlic, mashed into a paste
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise or vegan mayo for a creamy base
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (or a splash of cider vinegar)
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for a touch of gloss)
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for a subtle zing)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mash the black garlic into a smooth paste if you haven’t already.
  • Whisk together mayo, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and lemon juice until it’s creamy and cohesive.
  • Stir in the garlic paste. Add honey or maple syrup if you want a touch of sweetness.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Taste, adjust, repeat—that’s the flavor game.
  • Transfer to a jar or bowl. Chill for at least 15 minutes to let flavors mingle.
