Rich roasted garlic makes an incomparably flavored dressing. Try this on any salad with bold-flavored greens or ingredients. Ingredients:
1 large head of garlic (or 2 small heads garlic) |
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (or red-wine vinegar) |
1 tablespoon lime juice |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
fresh ground pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°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.
