SIMPLE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Set a medium bowl on a kitchen towel shaped like an "O" (this helps keep the bowl steady while whisking). Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, garlic, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in the bowl. Slowly drizzle in the oil while whisking continuously until the mixture is combined and blended well. Use right away, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Mash the Microwave-Roasted Garlic with a fork. Whisk in the lemon juice, then the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Put the trimmed head of garlic in a microwave-safe bowl, add 2 tablespoons water to the bowl, drizzle the olive oil over the garlic and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Put the reserved top back on the garlic and cover the bowl with a plate. Microwave on medium heat until the garlic is very soft, 8 to 9 minutes. Let cool completely, then squeeze the cloves out of the skins into a separate bowl.
