Cup of Yum
MAKE THE CREAMY GARLIC DRESSING:
- Remove the roasted garlic from the skins, by squeezing the bottom of the cloves (the part that's not trimmed away). The whole garlic cloves will easily come out.
- Transfer the garlic to the bowl of a mini food processor.
- Add the mayonnaise, buttermilk, vinegar, worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, white pepper, onion powder and fresh thyme. Secure the lid on the machine and pulse until the garlic cloves are smooth and no lumps are visible.
- Transfer the dressing to a glass jar with a tight fitting lid and refrigerate for several hours to thicken.
- Use a salad dressing, dip for raw vegetables, or sauce over cooked veggies or proteins.
Notes
- If you like a thicker dressing, add an additional 1/4 to 1/3 cup of mayonnaise and blend until smooth.
