Required Kitchen Tools

Making Salsa de Ajo at home is quick and hassle-free. Here are the essential tools I recommend:
  1. Blender or Immersion Blender: To blend the sauce into a smooth and creamy consistency.
  2. Tall Mixing Container: Ideal for blending the ingredients evenly.
  3. Measuring Cups and Spoons: To keep the balance of flavors just right.
  4. Spatula: To scrape down the sides and transfer the sauce neatly into a serving dish or jar.
Having these simple tools will make your Salsa de Ajo preparation smooth and efficient, giving you a silky, restaurant-style sauce at home.
