Creamy Roasted Garlic Dressing  

 

Ingredients:
8 large roasted cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 cup fresh minced parsley, packed thight
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1/2 cup olive oil
2 ounces silken tofu, mashed
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
2 tablespoons water (more as needed)
 

Directions:
NOTE: To roast garlic, peel off as much papery skin from each large head of garlic as will come off easily while still keeping the head intact. Brush each head liberally with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Place in a small, shallow baking dish in the toaster oven and roast at 375ºF until the outside is lightly browned and the innermost cloves are soft, about 20 minutes. Refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.
DRESSING: In a blender or food processor, combine all of the ingredients and process until smooth, adding water as required to create a slightly thick consistency. Use immediately or refrigerate in a tightly sealed container for up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature before using and reblend, if necessary. Makes 1 cup
