Garlic appears in a number of cooked foods, from spaghetti sauce to lo mein, but you might be struggling on how to add the bulb to your diet in raw form. In addition to hummus, guacamole and salsa are also dipping foods that use raw garlic. Also, you can add thinly-sliced raw garlic to your avocado toast or mix it into your cooled mashed potatoes. Minced garlic also adds a little punch to salad and soup. Or try adding a clove or two to your kale, carrot and tomato smoothie.
