Recipe Preparation
NOTE: To roast garlic, peel off as much papery skin from each large
head of garlic as will come off easily while still keeping the head
intact. Brush each head liberally with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Place in
a small, shallow baking dish in the toaster oven and roast at 375 F
until the outside is lightly browned and the innermost cloves are
soft, about 20 minutes. Refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 2
weeks.
DRESSING: In a blender or food processor, combine all of the
ingredients and process until smooth, adding water as required to
create a slightly thick consistency.
Use immediately or refrigerate in a tightly sealed container for up
to 1 week. Bring to room temperature before using and reblend, if
necessary.

Food Tips of the Week
Diet tipsIn planning a meal plan, the important thing is to try to cut down your ingestion of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
Some lower carbohydrate diet guidlines:
* Use soy flour or soy baking mix. When you need to use flour for baking, substitute soya flour or a bake mix like Atkins baking mix. In most cases, you may change your favorite recipes that use conventional wheat flour to use these low carbohydrate alternatives.
* Make low carbohydrate breadcrumbs for breadcrumb coated foods. Whilst you can sometimes buy low carb breadcrumbs, you can make them at home by using reduced carbohydrate bread. All you have to do is simply toast the reduced carb bread in a pre-heated oven on a baking tray. Once it is well toasted, whizz it in your food processor or blender. Keep in an airtight jar.
