Ingredients

1 large head garlic
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
½ cup reduced-fat buttermilk
2 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 ½ teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Trim and discard top 1/2 inch from garlic head. Place the garlic, cut-side up, on a sheet of foil; drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Wrap tightly in the foil; roast until the cloves are completely softened and jammy, about 40 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes. Squeeze the garlic cloves onto a cutting board; discard garlic skins. Using the flat side of a chef's knife, mash the garlic into a paste.

Transfer the garlic paste to a lidded jar or medium bowl. Add buttermilk, mustard, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, onion powder, salt and the remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Seal the jar and shake, or whisk vigorously in the bowl, until well combined. Shake or whisk before serving.

To make ahead:

Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Shake or whisk before serving.

Horrible! I love to make dressings and this one isn't worth the time!

I made this recipe as shown and was very disappointed. It was not a simple dressing to make, which is fine, but the result was bland and boring. I had to tweak the recipe to make it palatable and won't make this again.

Delicious on baked salmon and roasted veggies! Used 5 large cloves of garlic instead of the entire bulb, and substituted low fat yogurt for the buttermilk. Added a bit of skim milk to thin it. Everyone loved it. We're thinking it would also make a great egg free, low fat hollandaise sauce substitute (without the honey of course).
