Skordalia or skordhalia/skorthalia (σκορδαλιά; also called αλιάδα) is a thick puree (or sauce, dip, spread, etc.) in Greek cuisine made by combining crushed garlic with a bulky base—which may be a purée of potatoes, walnuts, almonds, or liquid-soaked stale bread—and then beating in olive oil to make a smooth emulsion. Vinegar is often added.

This sauce packs a garlicky punch! Bursting with flavor, this fresh spread perks up simple fried or boiled vegetables, and it also livens up fried fish (notably salt cod, μπακαλιάρος), . It is also sometimes used as a dip.
