- Mix all the ingredients into a food processor or blender. The aroma as the garlic blends with the sweet honey and tangy lemon is delightful.
- Blend until the dressing is completely smooth and well combined, usually about 30 seconds to 1 minute. It should look creamy and have a consistent texture.
