Creamy Garlic Dressing

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Then, using a sharp knife, cut ½ an inch down from the top of each garlic bulb. This will expose the top of each garlic clove.
  • Then, drizzle the top of each garlic bulb with olive oil and salt and pepper.
  • Wrap the garlic bulbs in foil or parchment paper and then bake for 45 minutes.
  • After 45 minutes, take them out of the oven, and let them cool. Then squeeze out the soft cloves by pressing on the sides of the bulb.
  • Combine the roasted garlic, 1/3 cup of olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, sour cream,Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper in a blender. Then blend until smooth.
  • Set aside, and begin making the salad.

Garbanzo Bean Salad

  • In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas, red bell pepper, broccoli, barley, dill, and Kalamata olives (optional).
  • Pour in the whole batch of creamy garlic dressing and stir to combine.
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
  • Serve and enjoy!
