    I found the garlic powder a bit overpowering, so next time I'll use fresh garlic instead.

  • Delaney Tromp

    I'm not a huge fan of lemon, so I used a little less juice and it was perfect for my taste.

  • Katelin Crona

    My sauce was a bit thin, but I added a cornstarch slurry and it thickened right up. Will definitely make this again!
