Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 garlic bulb
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1-2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Drizzle the olive oil over the exposed cloves, then wrap the bulb tightly in aluminum foil.
Place the foil-wrapped garlic on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown.
Remove the garlic from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Squeeze the roasted cloves out of their skins into a small bowl, then mash them into a paste using a fork.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mashed roasted garlic, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water, a little at a time, until your desired consistency is reached.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve over salads, roasted vegetables, or use as a dip. Store unused dressing in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
