Our Test Kitchen came up with this full-flavored vinaigrette. Roasted garlic is blended with Italian seasoning, Dijon mustard, tarragon vinegar and lemon juice in the zesty dressing. Try it drizzled over crisp greens or cherry tomatoes.

Ingredients

3 whole garlic bulbs
1 teaspoon plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1-1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Remove papery outer skin from garlic (do not peel or separate cloves). Cut tops off of garlic bulbs. Brush with 1 teaspoon oil. Wrap each bulb in heavy-duty foil. Bake at 425° for 30-35 minutes or until softened. Cool for 10-15 minutes.
Squeeze softened garlic into a blender. Add the vinegar, water, sugar, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, mustard, salt, pepper and remaining oil; cover and process until smooth. Store in the refrigerator.

Sounds delicious! But I think you meant oil instead of boil.
