Tips & Tricks
- Roast the Garlic Properly: Ensure the garlic is roasted until it is soft and caramelized for the best flavor. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- Use Fresh Lemon: Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds a vibrant flavor that bottled lemon juice can’t match. Don’t skip the lemon zest, as it adds extra citrus notes.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter dressing, you can add a little more honey. Taste and adjust to your liking.
- Blend Thoroughly: Blend the ingredients until completely smooth to ensure a creamy consistency.
- Storage: Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should keep for up to a week.
- Serving Suggestions: This dressing pairs well with salads, roasted vegetables, and as a marinade for grilled meats.
