directions
- *You can make the roast garlic dressing (steps 1-2) up to 1 day ahead. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge. Remove the dressing from the fridge 1 1/2 hours before serving to bring to room temperature.
- Roast garlic dressing: Preheat oven to 180°C To make roast garlic dressing, place garlic on a baking tray and roast in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the garlic cloves are soft. Remove from the oven and set aside for 10 minutes to cool slightly.
- Cut tops off garlic heads, squeeze soft garlic from each bulb, and place in a blender. Add red wine vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Blend until well combined. With motor running, gradually add oil in a thin steady steam until mixture is thick. Gradually add enough hot water to make a pouring consistency.
- Salad: Place the tatsoi, spinach and avocado in a large serving bowl and toss gently to combine. Drizzle the dressing over the salad.

I'm an ex-pat NZer living in the tropical Top End of Australia. Which makes it a perfect place to make homemade bread and summer recipes all year around. I experiment on my 3 kids who have grown up trying new Zaar recipes every other day and they are thriving.
I'm the lacto-ovo vegetarian in the family and somehow I got roped in to become a Forum Host here at Zaar. So check out the Vegetarian and Vegan Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=43 and feel free to join in whether you are a fully fledged vegan or someone who needs to cater for a vegetarian and has no idea where to start.
Every year I try to do something a bit different to push the envelope a little bit. In 2005 I learned how to sail a dinghy; 2006's grand passion is mosaics. Check out my blog!
Between raising three children, working almost fulltime and trying to pursue my hobbies...let's say that my time management skills have greatly improved over the years!
I am also very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle. Essentially I'm finding that I'm getting back to the country lifestyle I enjoyed in my childhood even though these days I live in themiddle of suburbia. To this end I have started gardening although I am a total gardening virgin when it comes to gardening in a tropical climate. I also have a cookbook with a number of recipes you can make from scratch. Living clean and green is good for you AND cheaper!
