Vinaigrette Salad Dressing

1 bulb garlic, separated and peeled

1/2 cup water

1 Tbsp red wine vinegar

1/4 tsp honey

1 Tbsp virgin olive oil

1/4 tsp black pepper 

Place the garlic cloves into a small saucepan and pour enough water (about 1/2 cup) 

to cover them.

Bring water to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until garlic is tender, about 15 minutes.

Reduce the liquid to 2 Tbsp and increase the heat for 3 minutes.

Pour the contents into a small sieve over a bowl and with a wooden spoon,

mash the garlic through the sieve into the bowl.

Whisk the vinegar into the garlic mixture; incorporate the oil and seasoning.
