Creamy, fluffy, and loaded with garlic - toum is the flavor bomb missing in your kitchen. Pair this Lebanese garlic dip with grilled chicken, roasted veggies, and one of my favorites: french fries. This recipe comes together in just a few minutes and you don't even need a food processor! What's not to love?!?
Toum is a super popular condiment in Lebanon. The word "toum" actually translates to "garlic" in Arabic, but we also refer to the prepared dip as toum, because, well, it's very garlicky.
In Lebanon, toum is absolutely mandatory with chicken shawarma, shish tawook, grilled chicken, roasted chicken, fried chicken... You get the point. But you really can't go wrong pairing it with just about anything.
Considering what a big part of my life toum is, it really was a no-brainer to make it the first recipe I publish on my blog. And the fact that it's the easiest toum recipe ever and naturally vegan is another plus. So let's make this deliciousness!
Ingredients
It really doesn't get much simpler than this! Salt hardly counts as an ingredient because it is essential to every recipe, so really you're looking at a 3-ingredient flavor packed condiment! All you need is:
- Garlic: the star of the show of course! Fresh garlic is a must - no pre-minced jars of garlic! If you must, you can use peeled garlic cloves - but read your labels and make sure there are no additives and that they are as fresh as possible.
- Oil: use a neutral oil for best results. Avocado, grapeseed, canola, and vegetable oil are all great options and you can even use a combination of them. Do not use olive oil as it has a strong flavor that will be overpowering and take away from the star of this dip. It will also make the toum darker instead of that signature white color.
- Lemon juice: blending the garlic with lemon juice helps to mellow out the strong garlic flavor, and the acidity balances out the flavor.
- Salt: enhances the flavor and also aids in the initial blending of the garlic to form it into a paste.
Instructions
First, peel enough garlic cloves until you have one heaping cup - this usually takes 3 to 4 whole heads of garlic.
For faster peeling, place the unpeeled cloves on a stable cutting board, then place the blade of a chef's knife flat against the clove, and use the heel of your hand to smash it. This loosens up the skin and it pops right off.
Just make sure to trim the brown stems with a knife before setting the garlic aside.
Next, place the peeled garlic cloves, lemon juice, and salt in the tall, narrow container that comes with your immersion blender.
For less clean up, use a jar that is wide enough to fit the immersion blender and that is large enough to fit all the ingredients - that way you can store the toum in the same jar you made it in.
If you are following this toum recipe without scaling it, a wide mouth one-quart jar is ideal.
Place the immersion blender in the jar and blend the garlic until you have a paste. You'll have to move it around a few times to get it all blended.
Pour the entire amount of oil on top of the garlic paste - do not stir! Before turning on the blender, submerge it to the very bottom of the jar.
Hold the jar with one hand, and turn on the immersion blender while it is at the bottom of the jar.
As it begins to blend, you will notice the bottom becoming white and fluffy. Once you see that, slowly begin raising the immersion blender until the whole mixture becomes white and fluffy.
I told you this is the easiest toum recipe ever!
Tips for making perfect toum
- Remove the germ. This is an optional step, but as garlic ages, it develops a green sprout in the middle which has a bitter taste. Use a paring knife to split the clove down the middle lengthwise and pry the green sprout out with your fingers.
- Be patient. Don't raise the blender too fast - only move up once the section it's in has already emulsified. Once you get to the top, you might see some residual oil. Give the mixture a quick stir, then blend it for another few seconds until it is completely homogenized. The whole process takes just a couple of minutes.
- Use the narrowest container possible. This really helps with the emulsification process because the blender is closely surrounded by all the ingredients.
- Chill the toum overnight. While you can absolutely enjoy the toum as soon as you make it, the flavors really meld and mellow out if you let it chill overnight first.
Frequently asked questions
- How can I make toum thinner/thicker? The recipe below results in a traditional consistency. However, if you would like it thinner, simply blend in a couple tablespoons of cold water at a time until you reach the desired consistency. For thicker toum, add a little more oil and blend well.
- How can I make the garlic flavor less strong? Toum mellows down with time, so you can simply make it in advance and consume it later. But if you'd like to enjoy it immediately and don't want it so potent, you can microwave the peeled garlic cloves for 2-3 minutes before using.
- How long does it last? Longer than it takes you to finish it! Toum keeps really well in the fridge for a couple of months. The garlic flavor mellows out significantly after a couple of weeks, so keep that in mind.

I make this quite often!!!! I LOVE garlic, so this one of my Favorite things to make!!!!!!!
Bits says
Easy-peasy and delicious! Iβve tried and failed with the food processor method twice and I could not believe my eyes as the ingredients emulsified up the side of the jar. This could not have been easier.
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
Yay yay yay!! I'm sooo happy to hear you enjoyed my toum recipe! It has been a game changer for me and I love when others have success with it too! Thank you for your comment and rating π
Billie says
My daughter had success with this recipe, but I'm sooo sad. Mine didn't thicken even though I followed your directions. Wondering if the problem is my immersion blender?? The handle was hot-maybe it's not strong enough?? Maybe I need a new one. Tastes yummy and will be drizzled on our shawarma.
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
Hi Billie! I'm so glad your daughter enjoyed this recipe! Sorry to hear about your batch. Usually the reason it doesn't thicken is if you didn't blend it long enough on the bottom before raising up the blender. But if you did that, then the only other possible reason is the power of your immersion blender unfortunately. I've tried it with several brands with great success, but there have been a few people reporting back that their blender got too hot and it didn't thicken. But I'm glad you still enjoyed the flavor with your shawarma! π
Ben says
Hi Billie,
I had a similar problem to you, with the blender heating up at the end causing the Toum to break. I was able to fix it by making sure all the ingredients and the immersion blender started cold by leaving them in the fridge for a few hours before starting. After I started doing this, I was getting much fluffier results.
Hope it works!
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
Thank you for chiming in with helpful tips Ben! I appreciate it and will make sure to share your tips with others having a similar issue π
Cris says
Amazing! I was determined to make toum and I tried so many recipes and so many kitchen appliances and I have never been able to get it to emulsify. But the immersion blender and the wide mouth jar were the perfect solution. It was super easy and turned out so good! Will be sharing the recipe with friends. Thank you! π
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
Hi Cris! I'm absolutely thrilled that you had success with my recipe and enjoyed it! Thanks so much for leaving a comment and rating, I appreciate you! π

Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
Hi Michael! I'm so happy you enjoyed my recipe! Thank you for leaving a comment π
Johan says
Very good. Made half the amount - and put everything in at once. Emulsified in seconds. No lumps.
I made half the amount as saw the recipe and only had two small bulbs and a lemon. So, thought 'why not'? Worked brilliantly. Sunflower oil is fine too. I would say, when making again, you want reasonable sized bulbs, and I think I was about five mil over the amount needed on lemon, but otherwise it is now in my fridge and will be used very, very quickly. Thanks. Great recipe.
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says

Yasmine LBUSA says
I have been making garlic sauce (Toum) all my cooking life as a Lebanese mother (38 years) and everyone like it. It used to take a lot of my time to make it by hand. Your method and your video tutorial were an awesome help and easy to follow. Thank you for a great recipe. It is never too late to learn new things. Bravo. ππ» .
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
Hi Yasmine! Your comment made me so happy! I am so glad you enjoyed my recipe and found it easy to follow! My mom was also very surprised to learn this method as she has been making it the more time consuming way her whole life. But like you said, it's never too late to learn new things π
Margaret says
I LOVE Garlic and saw this post on my FB feed, and said I Gotta try this! Followed your directions to a "T" even taking out the green thingy on the garlic, blended slowly, bringing up the blender slowly, and it came out Beautifully!!!! Tasted it and π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯° absolutely Loving it.

Aneesa says
I made this today and it was super creamy and delicious. Used a food processor, and it emulsified so well! It's key to run the processor on its highest speed,and stream your liquids in very slowly. Took me a full 5 minutes for this step alone. Also, with the processor method, I didnt need to use the full 2 cups of oil, achieved the perfect texture and consistency with 11/2 cups of oil. Thank you for sharing your amazing, simple recipes β€οΈ
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
I'm so happy you enjoyed it Aneesa! Thank you so much for leaving a comment and sharing your tips π
Rad says
I tried it the first time, and it came out perfectly.
The second time I tried making the recipe, the oil did not emulsify and stayed very liquid even though I was kept the blender at the bottom for over 10 minutes. I gave my mixer a chance to cool down and when I came back the liquid had split.
Any tips on why and how i can prevent this?
If it happens again, can i save the toum by doing something and not wasting it?
Thank you for your amazing recipes, content and help!
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
I'm so glad it came out perfectly! The second time around could be due to insufficient blending at the bottom. I have a detailed video tutorial on my Instagram story highlights if you want to check it out π Sometimes if you come back to it after a while and reblend, it emulsifies perfectly. But if it doesn't, it's definitely not wasted! Treat the sauce like garlic and oil - use in salad dressings, marinades, or any time you want to add garlic flavor without having to mince any!
Maria says
Hello , I came to this place accidentally, but I found it amazing, then I stopped reading the recipes and comments, so I like to give you this tips for oil , that I had got from my long time experience in food , the problem is ,for the receipt like this ,(or for example what we called Teseyeh bel zeit. )We MUST definitely use the ((VIRGIN OIL)), NEVER EXTRA Virgin.
Because the extra virgin oil never melt or blend with other ingredients.
Regards.
Maria Masaad.
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
Hi Maria! I am so glad you found my website and are enjoying it! Thank you for your tip, I definitely agree with you - I don't recommend extra virgin olive oil for this recipe, rather a neutral oil as mentioned in my post π
Maja says
Hi! Im new to toum, is it supposed to be so extremely strong?! I even got ulcer on my lips, haha. And itβs just too strong to eat. I admit I strayed slightly from the recipe by using whole garlics, but the same amount as stated.
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
Wow! Haha I have never heard that before. It is supposed to be very garlicky, but not so strong to give you ulcers or any other reaction unless you are sensitive/allergic/intolerant to garlic. So sorry that happened to you! Also the older the garlic the stronger and spicier it is. That's why I recommend using the freshest garlic possible π
Amber says
This turned out perfect! My husband is actually the cook in the family & he has not been able to get this right with other recipes. So I thought I would give this one a try - it was very easy & turned out perfectly. I even cut the recipe in half without any problems. My husband was very impressed that I got this right! Can't wait to try more recipes. Thank you so much!
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
This made me so happy Amber! I am really glad you were able to make my recipe and impress your husband π Thanks so much for your sweet comment!
Alix says
Phenomenal! The hardest part is peeling the garlic - but totally worth it!
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says

Maggie Taylor says
Just made this exactly as directed and it is ah-mazing! Came out beautifully with a creamy texture and perfect garlic balance. I was going to wait until I tried it tomorrow after being in the fridge overnight, but just couldnβt wait!
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
Yay yay I'm so happy to hear that you loved it Maggie! Thank you for trying it and leaving me a kind comment π
Kate says
I never comment on recipes but oh my god? This is incredible. I always thought making Toum was out of reach for me as a cook and I am just overwhelmed with how well this turned out.
Thank you so much for the step-by-step!
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
Oh yay I am so happy you loved it Kate! Thank you so much for making my recipe and leaving such a kind comment π
Alexa says
I couldnβt get this emulsify properly. I tried blending it for a very long time and slowly raising it up as you said to. The only thing I can think of that I did differently is that I used lemon juice from a bottle rather than from actual lemons. (Itβs all I had in hand). Any thoughts as to why it didnβt work for me? And if it would be possible to salvage it?
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
Hi Alexa! So sorry to hear that. The reason this happens is if you moved it up before the bottom got white, thick, and fluffy. Once you go up before reaching that point, it will not thicken unfortunately. If you did exactly that and it still came out thin, I'm not sure what the reason could be... I doubt bottled lemon juice would be the reason but I haven't tested it with it so it's possible. You can just use the mixture you have as a dipping sauce, mix into salad dressings, marinate chicken or veggies with it before roasting, etc. Definitely don't toss it π
Arie says
Same thing happened to me. Also used bottled lemon. Have you tried fresh instead?
Lindy says
I just tried for the first time and same result, so I have garlic milk instead of toum π
However, intend to try again soon, as if Iβm honest I didnβt wait long enough when blending
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
Hi Lindy! Yes that is due to blending. If you're on Instagram, I have a very detailed video tutorial posted to help you blend it correctly π
Carmen says
It existed to make the toum
I will tell soon
Thank you
Seckin says
This is one of my favorite in Lebanese dishes. Thank you for the good recipe:))
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
I'm glad you enjoyed it Seckin!
Parul says
Can this be made in mixer or blender is a must??
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
It can be made with a food processor or immersion blender. A high speed blender may work if you use the directions for a food processor. I have not tried it with any other appliance though. Hope that helps!
Marty says
Never heard of it but definitely will try! I just recently heard of garlic confit since I've been vegan, and I was a cook. I digress. Can I ha e some serving ideas please and Thank You!!
Elizabeth says
Made this Sunday but my ratios were a little off. I don't think I had a full cup of garlic. I used avocado oil - and even though it was more of a sauce than fluffy - still SO good. We've been using it as a marinade and topping sauce. Love it!
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
Oh I'm so glad you're loving it Elizabeth! The consistency could be due to changing the ratio, but if it wasn't a drastic change in the measurements, it most likely needed to be blended more at the bottom to fully emulsify and thicken before slowly raising it up. But either way I'm happy you're enjoying it! Thanks for your comment π
Di says
Easy-peasy and sooo good on roasted veggies and fries!
Am using it on burgers and chicken-great!
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
Yay I'm so happy you're loving it Di! Thanks for your comment π
Becky K says
I made this using avocado oil and some fermented garlic that I had made, instead of fresh. I Omitted the lemon juice, as the fermentation adds plenty of tanginess, but I did add the salt. It was awesome! Thick and creamy.
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
Wow what a delicious twist! Thank you so much for trying my recipe Becky! I'm happy you enjoyed it π
Faye says
Hello;
I am super excited to try this. Am I able to cut the amount of salt in half? Will that affect the texture and taste? I have to be careful with salt consumption.
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
Hi Faye! I totally understand. So just to clarify, this recipe has the salt measurement for kosher salt, which contains about half the amount of sodium by volume when compared to table salt. In other words, if my recipe states 1 teaspoon kosher salt but you have table salt, you should use half a teaspoon of table salt. In any case, since the amount of salt mostly affects flavor (and preservation to a certain extent), feel free to reduce it according to your needs. As long as it tastes good to you, it should be fine π
Fran says
The same recipe is also ancient recipe followed in Spain (Alioli) which translates from the catalan "all i oli" / "allium et ollium" - garlic and oil, although it was manually smashed back then and contained less garlic, being more like a sauce which nowadays converted to famous Alioli sauce, although the current one contains egg/milk and is more similar to a garlic mayo.
Still this recipe looks so yummy I can't wait to taste it! Thanks for sharing
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
Yes it is very similar to traditional alioli! Long ago toum was also made in a mortar and pestle. I'm thankful for kitchen appliances that make our jobs easier nowadays hehe π Thank you for your comment Fran! I hope you enjoy this recipe when you give it a try!

This looks so delicious!! I didn't read through all the comments, but I'm curious if you've ever tried it with roasted garlic instead of raw? I might have to do both!

I've never emulsified anything before trying this. I followed the directions to a T! Besides halfing the recipie. I used a Kitchen Aid immersion blender and it turned out perfect!

Rubia says
Mine broke, as it has with every other method I've tried. So disappointed, just stayed liquidy and separated.
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
Hi Rubia. I'm sorry to hear your garlic separated. The only reason this could happen is if you don't blend at the very bottom of the jar until the mixture emulsifies. If you keep moving the blender up and down, it will stay liquidy. I have it detailed under my "Tips" section. I've tried it with several different immersion blenders and have never had it separate. Just be patient and blend on the bottom until it turns white and fluffy, then slowly move up a bit, stay there and blend until white and fluffy, and repeat. Hope you give it another chance!
Stacy says
You know how long I've waited for this recipe??!! Amazing, thanks for sharing, it's sooooo delicious!!
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says

Jolene says
My immersion blender heats up too much! Iβve tried at least 4 different brands of blenders. Any suggestions?
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
Oh bummer! Does it stop blending when it heats up? My immersion blender starts getting a little warm during the last minute of blending, but not so bad that it stops or affects the speed or result. The exact one I use is linked in the post. But if you have a food processor, you can use the same exact measurements to make toum in it. The only difference is that you have to stream the oil in very very slowly from start to finish while the food processor is on (after you process the garlic cloves, salt, and lemon into a paste). I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Jennifer Stevensen says
This is the BEST recipe ever!!! The method was perfect and made it so easy. I made it for my husband and not only did he love it but we were eating it with a spoon by itself because it was THAT good!! Amazing!! Thank you Gladys for sharing this recipe!

This is some serious game changing Toum! While Iβve made it many times before, this has definitely been the quickest Iβve ever done it and it came out delicious!
Not only did this recipe and hack make for an easy clean up, it was so entertaining watching the mixture completely change!
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says

Angie says
Help
Mine did not get thick, I think my jar is too wide! Is there any way to fix it?
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
Hi Angie! I'm sorry to hear that. It could be because of your jar or because you moved the immersion blender up too fast before it got thick. You could try adding a few more cloves of garlic and half a cup of oil on top of the garlic mixture (do not stir), then place the immersion blender in the bottom of the jar and turn it on. Do not move it up until you see the bottom getting thicker, then very slowly move up as each section gets thick. Once it's thick you can taste it and see if it needs a little more salt or lemon juice and blend them in. Please let me know if that helps!
MaryGay says
So much easier than the recipe I have been using! I donβt know if it is considered the βrightβ thing to do but I made so much that I froze some of it in small and medium cubes and then dropped them in a ziplock bag and I can pull it out anytime I need some. Great for flavoring so many things. Soup, salad dressing, marinades, sauces, etc.
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
I'm so glad you found it easier! I love how you froze them - I'll have to try that myself!! Thank you so much for leaving a comment!
Mary says
Suuuper easy and quick!!! I tried to make it healthier by using avocado oil but I think the flavor suffered a bit, thanks for the suggestion to 50/50 with another oil. I shall try it. Love me some fluffy goodness
Gladys @ Forks and Foliage says
So glad you found it easy! The more neutral the oil the better π
Kiana Valles says
This is a kitchen staple! So versatile. Iβve already been using it to dip veggies & chicken as well as adding a tiny bit into anything that calls for minced garlic. Recently added some to mashed potatoes and it really cut down time in the kitchen. I love it!
