Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh garlic and sun-dried tomatoes that have been packed in oil.
- If you don't have any sun-dried tomatoes on hand, you can substitute an equal amount of chopped fresh tomatoes.
- Be sure to roast the garlic until it is soft and caramelized. This will help to bring out its sweetness and flavor.
- If you are using a food processor to make the dressing, be sure to pulse it only until the ingredients are combined. Over-processing will make the dressing too thick.
- Taste the dressing before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to taste.
