Creamy Garlic Vinaigrette

It is nearly impossible for find a good (i.e. healthy) store-bought salad dressing that isn’t way overpriced. The solution: make your own! Here is my current favorite recipe.

*2 cloves makes this dressing quite spicy. If you prefer a milder version, use the smaller amount.
