Recipe Notes

Garlic Parmesan Sauce Recipe Tips and Uses

1. If you want a super creamy texture, add the ingredients into a food processor instead of mixing by hand. It's worth noting however, that the authentic garlic parmesan sauce is not that smooth, so that's why we prefer making it without. 
2. If Mayo is too heavy for you, swap half of it with sour cream, like this Blue Cheese Dressing.
3. Vinegar and lemon juice are both used to add some tang and cut down the mayo taste. You can use any type of vinegar, we prefer apple cider. 
4. You can make the sauce a touch extra spicy by using hot sauce instead of apple cider vinegar, or adding Sriracha. 
5. Freshly grated parmesan cheese is key for this sauce, as it is one of the STAR ingredients. 
6. Try using Roasted Garlic with How to Roast Garlic tutorial for a sweeter garlic taste. 
7. The sauce will absorb so much flavor as it sits down, so you may want to make it ahead. One day ahead is great, but even 1 hour ahead is great. 
8. The sauce will thicken slightly in the fridge. If you're brushing it over hot Grilled Chicken Wings or Air Fryer Chicken Wings, it won't matter. If you're using it as a dip however, you may want to have it out at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. 

How to Store Garlic Parmesan Sauce?

This sauce can be made and stored in the fridge for up to 20 days. It will taste better as it ages, so don't feel like it's too old after a week or so! It's not a great condiment to freeze as the texture of the mayo will change and won't be as creamy.
