Fresh Tomato And Roasted Garlic Salad Dressing
This dressing is delicious with any green salad and will make your salad course a real event. Roasting the garlic gives it a wonderfully mellow and sweet mild flavor.
Steps
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Brush the garlic cloves with 1 teaspoon of the oil , reserving the remaining oil.
Roast the oiled garlic cloves in a pan until golden and soft , about 10 to 15 minutes.
Watch carefully so garlic does not get over-brown or burn.
Carefully remove pan from oven and cool.
When cool enough to handle , squeeze out the garlic pulp.
Combine the pulp with the reserved olive oil and rest of the ingredients in a blender.
Blend until smooth and use the dressing on any mixed garden salad.
Refrigerate leftover.
