Roasted Garlic and Herb Vinaigrette

**Roasted Garlic and Herb Vinaigrette** A simple yet flavorful vinaigrette made with roasted garlic, fresh herbs, and a touch of Dijon mustard. Perfect for drizzling over salads, grilled vegetables, or even roasted potatoes.

This vinaigrette is inspired by a classic French dressing, but with a few twists. I've added roasted garlic for a rich, nutty flavor, and fresh herbs for a bright, herbaceous note. The Dijon mustard adds a touch of tang and creaminess, and the honey balances out the acidity of the vinegar. It's a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes, and it's sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
