Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup roasted garlic
3 tablespoons parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

Combine all ingredients and blend until smooth. I use my handy chopper.
If the dressing is too thick, thin with more cream.
To roast garlic - slice the top off a whole head of garlic. Place garlic on a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil and salt. Wrap up and bake at 400 for about 40 minutes.

Tips:

For a more intense garlic flavor, roast the garlic for an extra 15-20 minutes.
If you don't have time to roast garlic, you can use 1/4 cup of minced garlic instead.
To make the dressing ahead of time, whisk all of the ingredients together and store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
When you're ready to use the dressing, bring it to room temperature for 30 minutes or microwave it on low power for 30 seconds.
This dressing is perfect for salads, sandwiches, and grilled vegetables.

Conclusion:

This creamy roasted garlic dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and healthy salad dressing, give this recipe a try.
