However, consider all of the foodsbasically, everything delicious under the sunthat call for garlic.
Its a key ingredient for everything from sauces and salad dressings to casseroles and soups.
In some cases, garlic is the star of the recipe.

For example,too-much-garlic mashed potatoesandchicken with 40 cloves of garlic.
Other times garlic plays a supporting role, helping the other ingredients shine.
This is the reason why you should add garlic to your BLT.
Don’t worry… You’re not adding so much of it that all you taste is garlic.
Southern Living wisely chooses mayonnaise as the vehicle for carrying the garlic.
Adding it to a creamy condiment, like mayonnaise, means every bite is satisfyingly garlicky.
Its completely edible but can be sharp and bitter, which probably isnt the taste youre after.
I agree thats a good idea, but only if you plan on using it within three days.
After that, it needs to be tossed.
Keep it covered and clearly labeled in your refrigerator so that you’re able to enjoy every drop.
