Roasted Garlic Salad Dressing

• two heads of garlic roasted in the oven at 400 degrees for one hour
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tsp olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste

Roasting changes the sharp flavor of raw garlic into a sweet and delicious base for this salad dressing.  When you have a flavor that is so great on its own, you don’t want to do too much to it.  Just choose ingredients that compliment the flavor.
