Peel the garlic cloves and remove any green shoots to avoid bitterness.
Place the garlic cloves, lemon juice, and salt in a food processor or blender. Pulse until the mixture is finely minced and turns into a paste.
Add the egg whites to the processor. Blend on medium speed until the mixture becomes frothy and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
While the processor is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil in a thin, steady stream. This must be done gradually to allow emulsion to form. Continue blending until the sauce is thick and smooth.
Once the olive oil is fully incorporated, add the cold water to adjust the consistency as desired. Blend for a few more seconds to ensure everything is well combined.
Taste the sauce and adjust the salt or lemon juice as needed for your preferred flavor.
Transfer the garlic sauce to a serving dish or an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
