If you think yogurt dressings are boring, this recipe, featuring sweet roasted garlic and zesty chives, may change your mind. Roasting the whole head of garlic slowly allows it to caramelize, adding a rich sweetness to the garlic and removing the sharpness that raw garlic can bring to a dish. Virtually five ingredients and 6-minutes of active prep time make this dish quick and easy. The combination of ricotta and yogurt provide texture and body to this flavorful dressing. Serve on a simple salad of mixed greens, roasted chicken, carrots and cucumbers or put some leftover roasted winter vegetables to work by tossing them with heartier baby kale and dressing with this garlicky delight. The garlic can be roasted several days ahead and refrigerated, cutting the prep time to just a matter of minutes.
