2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp lemon juice
½ tsp Better than Bouillon Roasted Garlic Base

Notes

Storage Tips

Once fully cooled, you have two options. You can either:

Refrigerate: In an airtight container, you can store leftovers in the fridge for 5 - 7 days. The lemon juice adds a bit of preservatives to extend the shelf life. If you don't plan to eat within that time frame, you can freeze to avoid food waste.
Freeze: To extend its shelf life, you can freeze in an airtight container for up to 4 months.

Defrosting

In a hurry, you can use the microwave, as this may enhance it, especially if you like warmed dip.
You can defrost in the refrigerator, may take overnight or a little longer than that. Just be sure to mix well before eating, as the texture may have changed.
