Ingredients

3 whole garlic bulbs

1 teaspoon plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

3 tablespoons tarragon vinegar

2 tablespoons water

1 tablespoon sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1-1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

1 Roast the garlic

2 Remove the papery outer skin from garlic (do not peel or separate the cloves). Cut the tops off of the garlic bulbs. Brush with 1 teaspoon of oil, then wrap each bulb in heavy-duty foil. Bake at 425°F for 30 to 35 minutes or until softened. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Editor's Note: For more tips, check out our complete guide on how to roast garlic. If you're wondering if you can eat sprouted garlic, the answer is yes.

3 Combine and blend

4 Squeeze the softened garlic into a blender. Then add the vinegar, water, sugar, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, mustard, salt, pepper and remaining oil. Cover and process until smooth and emulsified. Toss immediately with your favorite salad recipe, or keep the garlic dressing refrigerated until ready to use.
