Brush each head liberally with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Place in a small, shallow baking dish in the toaster oven and roast at 375 F until the outside is lightly browned and the innermost cloves are soft, about 20 minutes. Refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks. DRESSING: In a blender or food processor, combine all of the ingredients and process until smooth, adding water as required to create a slightly thick consistency.

Vegans beware, I think that I remember that there was some kind of milk by-product like whey or something in it, but if you avoid dairy for allergies, it doesn't seem to bother mine YMMV.
