Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Garlic bulb
- 6 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast in the oven for 30 minutes or until the garlic is soft and golden.
Let the roasted garlic cool slightly, then squeeze the cloves out into a blender or food processor.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, honey, salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Pour the remaining 5 tablespoons of olive oil and the 2 tablespoons of water into the blender.
Blend until smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add a bit more water, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Drizzle over your favorite Greek salad and serve!
