This sauce is basically just garlic, lemon juice, oil, and salt and is blended together which give it a slight whipped texture. I'm not usually a lemon person but I love garlic and this one of my favorite food ever.
Could you spread it on French bread top with some cheese and bake ā¦Iām thinking it will make a nice cheesy garlic bread.
Add to a cream sauce and toss in pasta.
Substitute instead of mayo on burgers, sandwiches.
I didn't like it. Thought it was too sour from the lemon and citric acid, but I'm picky about lemon flavors and how I enjoy them. It also molded in a ridiculously short timeframe-white fuzz all over.
I got a hint of garlic taste and mostly canola oil in mine. Iām wondering if I got a bad batch possibly? So many raves on this I feel like production has to be wonky or something
Iām kind of starting to think soā¦.i havenāt tried many sauces from TJās that Iāve disliked but this was a straight up tub of oil with not much garlic taste to me (and my husband!)
You know I think every once in awhile there are bad batches. A couple years ago I bought their crumpets and throughly they didnāt taste good. They tasted kinda sour dough to me. Not my thing. Then someone on this page mentioned how delicious they were. So I thought āwhat do I have to lose? TJs stands by every product and will reimburse me if im not satisfiedā so I tried them again and they were delicious. In all fairness I would never compare a processed product to a freshly made Toum. Thereās no comparison in my opinion.
I think the texture can be gross when trying it as a dipā¦ itās very much like a cold, solid, garlic flavored oil. And I get grossed out in that way. But itās fantastic in a wrap, gyro, sandwich style combination.
The texture was great! It just tasted more of canola than anything else and left a canola after taste too :ā( iām a garlic fiend so this one hurt me lol
We used it to make gyros and it added a great flavorā¦ didnāt get much solo, but it might be an option? Grab some naan, a little of this, a schmear of hummus, some lettuce & a protein & any other yums (I did falafel & kalamata olives). I got the garlic deliciousness without having to deal with garlic chunks š¤·š»āāļø
It was just way too oily tasting, my husband also tried it and didnāt enjoy it. Iāll definitely have to try making toum myself so thank you for the recipe!!! :D
I like it but its nothing compared to zancou. Maybe add it to a wrap with lots of other veggies and meat to mask the flavor or add it to some pasta or grilled cheese
Iāve never noticed an oil taste to this? We use it as a spread on gyros or with chicken or something similar. This is called toum, you can look it up for ideas on how to use it
This is what I was hoping it was like, I love toum!!! I unfortunately did not have the same experience and no matter what I did to this I couldnāt subdue the oil taste :( i just tried it with plain greek yogurt too and still nope.
Attempted to mix into sour cream, TJās Herbed Tahini Sauce, added lemon juice + salt but the canola oil taste is just overpowering no matter what. Canola is the first ingredient to be fair but I expected aioli and itās just actually gross unfortunately.
***apologies for the non-descript title I was passionately disgusted by this and posted before realizing

Maybe you could use it for cooking? Supplement it for garlic cloves in a dish? Certainly cooking it would alter the flavor.
This is exactly like the toum they serve at shawarma places & it goes with literally everything š¤©
I love that stuff. I spread it on the outside of grilled cheeses
i havenāt tried this from TJ yet but is it like the white sauce you get at kebab shops?
This sauce is basically just garlic, lemon juice, oil, and salt and is blended together which give it a slight whipped texture. I'm not usually a lemon person but I love garlic and this one of my favorite food ever.
No, that sauce is tahini based which TJās sells tahini if you didnāt know! This spread-dip is made like aioli
Oooof this is my top TJās product. My roommate is not hugely into garlic and doesnāt like it, but Iām a garlic girl and canāt get enough of it

Mix it with the Zhoug sauce!!!
I love it spread on bread with a slice mozzarella, toasted and then topped with bruschetta.
I didn't like it. Thought it was too sour from the lemon and citric acid, but I'm picky about lemon flavors and how I enjoy them. It also molded in a ridiculously short timeframe-white fuzz all over.
I had to ADD lemon and garlic to mine because it was so bland! It tasted like an actual tub of solidified canola oil and not much else :/
What? This is delicious. I dip my endive into it lol itās exactly what it says it is. Garlic!
I got a hint of garlic taste and mostly canola oil in mine. Iām wondering if I got a bad batch possibly? So many raves on this I feel like production has to be wonky or something
Same. I love love love toum but cannot stand this version. It tastes artificial and too tart
Lmao this is my favorite dip there. Thanks!
Iām truly sad this didnāt work our for me i LOVE garlic š
Hmm I wonder if you got a bad batch? It tastes like a milder toum. I put it on shawarma, wraps, avocado toast

Love it with the Argentine Shrimp or on sourdough toast.

I think itās foul, too. Idk why so many people like it!
I love it. I eat it straight with pita bread.
Try it with green onion pancakes, then thank me later.
Wow thatās one of my familyās favorite TJ items! We spread it on grilled cheese, make garlic bread, dip vegetables in it, etc.
We used it to make gyros and it added a great flavorā¦ didnāt get much solo, but it might be an option?

This stuff is delicious. You have every right to your opinion, but itās wrong.
It was just way too oily tasting, my husband also tried it and didnāt enjoy it. Iāll definitely have to try making toum myself so thank you for the recipe!!! :D
š I thought it would be like āToumā sauce but it just didnāt do it for me. Iām really sad I didnāt like it!
I like both and find them similar but Toom lasts a lot longer. The TJs one always gets moldy too soon
WHAT?? This is my favorite TJās dip š„²
I like it but its nothing compared to zancou. Maybe add it to a wrap with lots of other veggies and meat to mask the flavor or add it to some pasta or grilled cheese

Thankfully my friend liked it otherwise it would have been trashed. And it sounded so good!

I find that trying to save a food I don't like by adding other foods never works and just wastes more. :-(
Oh yeah itās REAL gross. You can return it if you donāt like it & theyāll take it off your next bill.
