Add the garlic cloves, salt and ½ cup of the neutral oil to a blender or tall container, and blend with an immersion blender until fully mixed and thickened. It will be light white in color and quite thick.
Add the remaining 1 cup of oil and continue to blend until smooth and still thickened. Then add lemon juice and blend for an additional minute, or until it has a creamy consistency. Keeps in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
