Creamy Garlic Balsamic Vinegar Dressing


I could seriously drink this straight out of the cup. 




Ingredients:

1 Tablespoon chia seeds
1/2 cup water

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (or more, to taste)
10 cloves roasted garlic (or less, to taste)
1 tsp spicy brown or dijon mustard
salt and pepper, to taste
splash of olive oil, OPTIONAL and unnecessary for a great taste

Put the chia seeds and water in a blender and blend on high for 30 seconds.  Let sit 5-10 minutes and blend again.   Let sit another 15 minutes or so until a gel starts forming. 

Meanwhile, roast the garlic in the oven - 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Combine everything in the blender and enjoy.    I like garlic in massive quantities, so if you don't, you might start with half this amount, taste the blender contents, and then add more if you like.   Ditto with the balsamic vinegar.
