Tips:

Choose the freshest garlic possible. Fresh garlic will have a stronger flavor and be less bitter than older garlic.
Roast the garlic before using it in the dressing. Roasting the garlic will mellow its flavor and make it sweeter.
Use a variety of vinegars in the dressing. This will add complexity and depth of flavor. Try using a combination of white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and rice vinegar.
Add a little sugar or honey to the dressing. This will help to balance out the acidity of the vinegar and give the dressing a slightly sweet flavor.
Use the dressing on a variety of salads. Sweet garlic dressing is great on green salads, pasta salads, and even fruit salads.
