I love making my own homemade salad dressings. It’s a great way to flavor your salads, and you know exactly what you are eating. No additives or preservatives, just whole, real food. My Sweet Strawberry Dressing is a favorite for a nice added sweetness to your salads, but this Roasted Garlic and Rosemary Vinaigrette adds a delicious, savory flavor to your greens!
I absolutely love roasted garlic, and could just eat them straight out of the oven. And the smell of roasted garlic is just amazing, in my opinion. So I knew I just had to use some in my next homemade salad dressing recipe.
This is probably my favorite salad dressing that I have made. The flavors of roasted garlic and fresh rosemary compliment each other nicely to make for a savory dressing. And making your own salad dressing is so simple! All you really need in most cases is a blender. Since we are roasting garlic in this recipe, you also obviously need an oven. I used a whole head of garlic to make this dressing. You will just want to cut off the tip of the head, drizzle it with olive oil, and roast it for 35-40 minutes.
Dress up your salad with this delicious homemade Roasted Garlic and Rosemary Vinaigrette, made with whole, real-food ingredients!
- 1 head garlic
- 1 Tbsp rosemary leaves
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
-
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit. Cut the tip of the garlic head off so that the tops of the cloves are exposed. Place onto a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 35-40 minutes, until the top is browned.
-
Let the garlic cool, then remove the cloves and place into a blender. Add in the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.

Store in the fridge. Enjoy!
