Ingredients

2 heads - garlic
⅓ cup - olive oil
2 tablespoons - red wine vinegar
1 ½ tablespoons - dijon mustard
2 tablespoons - maple syrup or honey
½ tsp - salt
pepper
3 tablespoons - water

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Cut the top off of the garlic, so that the tops of the cloves are exposed. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and wrap the heads in foil. Place the foil directly into the oven or place it on a baking tray and put in the oven. Roast for 45 minutes or until very soft and browned on the top. Let cool to the touch.
Squeeze the garlic out of the skin and into a blender. Add in the remaining ingredients and blend until creamy and smooth. You can also whisk everything together, but I prefer blending to fully emulsify the garlic.
Store leftovers in the fridge and ENJOY!
This dressing will stay fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Simply give it a stir (or a shake) before using it.
