Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

For the dressing

  • 2 Garlic whole heads of
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 Lemon Juice of
  • ½ teaspoon Lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Rosemary dried
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

For the Salad

  • 2 Packed Spinach Baby cups
  • ½ cup Heirloom Tomatoes quartered
  • ¾ cup Tofu cubes
  • 2 tablespoon Dressing

Instructions

  • Slice the top of each head of garlic, and peel off just the extra skin. Keep the garlic pod intact. Place garlic pods on a piece of foil, drizzle with olive oil and wrap tightly. Roast in a 200 degree celsius oven for 40-45 mins.
  • To make the dressing, squeeze out the roasted garlic (by now the garlic should be like a paste) in a blender. Add olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, rosemary, salt and pepper. Blend everything on high for 2 minutes till the garlic is sufficiently minced and the dressing emulsifies.
  • Crumble the tofu cubes till they resemble crumbled cheese.
  • To assemble the salad, add baby spinach, heirloom tomatoes and crumbled tofu in a bowl and drizzle with dressing. Adjust the amount of dressing as per taste, but personally, I don't like to drown my salad in dressing. Serve immediately.
  • If preparing for later, assemble everything and place in the fridge. Add the dressing just before serving or the salad will get soggy.

Notes

This recipe makes extra dressing, which can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
