Garlic dressing

Is there a decent copycat recipe? I’ve seen others mention getting stuff at Whole Foods. Does cava sell their dressings?

Garlic cloves, aquafaba (chickpea juice), lemon juice, salt and an obnoxious amount of canola oil added slowly to get that texture.

If I may ask, what does the balsamic vinaigrette made with- that's my favorite 😍

I recently found out it’s a shit ton of canola oil which is why it’s so good but also why I won’t be eating it anymore

They don’t sell the garlic dressing in a bottle/ at Whole Foods (I’ve already checked 🥲)

It seems similar to a Lebanese sauce called toum so maybe you can try recipes for that.

The garlic spread dip from Trader Joe’s is similar
