Roasted Garlic Dressing

3 cloves garlic, unpeeled
3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
2/3 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Roast the garlic in a cast iron skillet over medium heat turning occasionally, until blackened in spots and soft, about 15 minutes. Cool, then slip off the skin.

Combine garlic and remaining ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Taste for salt. Cover and store at room temperature.
