Ginger Garlic Dressing (you can buy this or easily make it)
Serves 4 to 6

What you will need:

1 ½ cups water
15 cloves of garlic, peeled and left whole
2 tablespoons dry white wine (optional)
Juice of ½ a lemon
1/8 teaspoon dried sage
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
Sea salt, if you must and only to taste
2 tablespoons minced parsley
Cayenne, to taste

In a saucepan, combine the garlic, sage, thyme, water, and wine. Simmer over a low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, until garlic is soft. Remove from heat, transfer mixture to a blender, and puree. Add the lemon juice and salt. Stir in the parsley and season with cayenne. Reheat over a low flame before serving.

Note: Cayenne pepper often comes in various heat levels. It is a great warming and energizing spice that is not usually irritating.

Enjoy this easy and light salad!!
