Roasted Garlic Dressing
Rich roasted garlic makes an incomparably flavored dressing. Try this on any salad with bold-flavored greens or ingredients.
Ingredients
-
1 large head or 2 small heads garlic
-
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
-
2 tablespoons balsamic or red-wine vinegar
-
1 tablespoon lime juice
-
1/8 teaspoon salt
-
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions
1.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2.
Rub off the excess papery skin from garlic without separating the cloves. Slice the tips off the head (or heads), exposing the ends of the cloves. Place the garlic on a piece of foil, drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and wrap into a package. Put in a baking dish and bake until the garlic is very soft, 40 minutes to 1 hour. Unwrap and let cool slightly.
3.
Squeeze the garlic pulp into a blender or food processor (discard the skins). Add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, vinegar, lime juice, salt and pepper and blend or process until smooth.
Tip:
MAKE AHEAD TIP: Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
