Make-Ahead Tip: Dressing may be prepared 24 hours in advance. Raw vegetables can be cut and placed in ice water and refrigerated for 4 to 6 hours.
3.
Roasted Garlic: To roast garlic, cut off the pointed top portion of 1 bulb of garlic, leaving bulb intact but exposing cloves. Place bulb on a piece of heavy-duty foil; drizzle with 2 teaspoons olive oil. Wrap tightly in foil. Roast in a 425 degree F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until tender. When cool, squeeze roasted garlic pulp from skin.
