Instructions

Blend ingredients. Combine all ingredients in a high speed blender (or food processor) and blend until completely smooth.

Notes

Optional garlic mellowing step: Place vinegar and garlic cloves in your blender first, and purée. Allow to sit for five minutes to balance the garlic's bite. Then, proceed with blending the remaining ingredients.
Vinegar: I love using an aged sherry vinegar for a less "vinegary" taste (the aging process takes the edge off). Red wine vinegar or another light vinegar works as well!
