Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced (or more for extra garlic flavor)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce:
In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, melted butter, and minced garlic. Stir well until smooth and fully incorporated. - Season the Sauce:
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until the sauce is well seasoned. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary (add more garlic, lemon, or salt according to your preference). - Chill the Sauce:
For the best flavor, let the garlic sauce sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. If you’re in a hurry, you can skip this step, but it will taste even better if you let it chill. - Serve:
Once chilled, serve the garlic sauce alongside your pizza for dipping. You can also drizzle it on top of the pizza after baking for an extra burst of flavor. - Enjoy:
Enjoy your homemade garlic sauce with your favorite pizza or even as a dipping sauce for breadsticks, fries, or vegetables!
Notes
- You can adjust the level of garlic in this sauce by adding more or less minced garlic, depending on your taste.
- If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor.
- This garlic sauce also makes a great dip for chicken wings, vegetables, or as a spread for sandwiches.
