I recently came across the concept of a roasted garlic vinaigrette and it sounded really good! It just so happened that I had some roasted garlic and I decided to make the vinaigrette. I also had some roasted garlic olive oil that I used in place of the regular olive oil. The roasted garlic vinaigrette was really tasty! I enjoyed it on salads and asparagus this week. The asparagus was some of the first of the locally grown asparagus that showed up at the farmers market for the first time on the weekend.

So beautiful! It looks delicious. I will definitely make this for my boyfriend sometime.
Holy crap, why didn’t I think of that? You’re awesome.
mmmm, never enough garlic for me!
Brilliant combination for the vinaigrette! However, the directions are a little complicated for me. J/K!
Found you on tastespotting.com; after I went and bookmarked your blog so that I can come visit again, I had to return to leave a comment. This roasted garlic vinaigrette looks scrumptious!
What a great idea! Looks yummy on that salad.
I hope that the roasted garlic vinaigrette tastes better than it looks.
Looks delicious Kevin. That will certainly keep the vampires away!
Beautiful!
So simple, but delicious. I love acid with my asparagus.
Roasted garlic is one of my favourite ingredients.
This sounds great. I use the same old boring vinaigrettes on all my salads. This looks like a nice one to try out and mix things up a bit. Roasted garlic is the best!
That sounds like a lovely addition to may things!
woah~ kevin! yr capture makes a simple asparagus come alive! 😀
Sort of looks like a cat pooed on your asparagus.
That sounds delicious, Kevin! You’re a genius!
It looks delicious! That photo is definitely food porn material!
It looks fantastic Kevin. Roasted garlic is an awesome way to enjoy many things as you have shown us here!
Wow, Kevin, that looks divine! I love garlic just about any whichway you fix it. Great post.
This is a very easy and delicious concept. I just discovered asparagus not long ago, but J wasn’t crazy about them. I wonder if they would be better received with this roasted garlic vinaigrette. Great pictures!
Hey, this looks awesome… I’d love to have a bowl of that salad and vinaigrette!
Yummy!
There’s just something so unique about the flavor of roasted garlic, I love it!

Garlic and asparagus… Two of my favourite food! *Steals a stalk* Gotta note down this recipe for the vinaigrette.
I love roasted garlic, and this sounds like a great way to top a salad. Your pictures are truly wonderful.
Kevin, I always enjoy your photos and recipes. I must say, you’ve outdone yourself with your header picture in this post.
This is so beautiful Kevin and looks SO delicious with great flavours – yum!
