This low histamine garlic sauce offers a safe, flavorful alternative to traditional raw garlic sauces. It’s completely citrus-free, uses garlic-infused oil for gentle taste, and blends into a rich, creamy spread. Great for dipping grilled meats, spreading on wraps, or stirring into roasted veggies.

Ingredients Needed

1 cup garlic-infused olive oil: gentle garlic flavor without raw garlic triggers.
½ tsp fine sea salt or kosher salt: enhances flavor safely.
¼ tsp ascorbic acid + 2 tbsp water: replaces lemon juice with safe acidity.
½ cup neutral cold-pressed oil (avocado or olive oil): helps build emulsion.

How To Make Low Histamine Garlic Sauce

Blend Base

In a blender or mini food processor, add garlic-infused olive oil, salt, and ascorbic acid + water mixture.

Emulsify with Oil

Slowly drizzle in the additional ½ cup oil while blending on low. Blend for 1–2 minutes until creamy and smooth.

Chill and Set

Transfer sauce to a glass container. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to thicken and let flavors develop.

Recipe Tips

Do not use raw garlic—it’s a strong histamine trigger. Garlic-infused oil is safer.
Avoid citrus like lemon or lime—use ascorbic acid instead.
Blend slowly and steadily for the smoothest texture.
Store in glass jars only to keep it fresh and amine-free.
Use cold-pressed oils to keep the sauce anti-inflammatory.

How to Store & Reheat

Room Temperature: Not recommended—serve immediately after removing from fridge.
Fridge: Store up to 7 days in a sealed glass jar. Stir gently before using.
Freezer: Not ideal—emulsion may break.
