medium heads garlic
nonstick cooking spray
tsp. fine sea salt
cup red-wine vinegar
Tbs. honey
sprigs fresh dill, stems removed, coarsely chopped
tsp. Mrs. Dash salt-free seasoning
tsp. onion powder
Tbs. cold water
cup good-quality extra-virgin olive oil
red bell pepper, seeded, cut into matchsticks
red onion, thinly sliced
lb. green beans, trimmed
Tbs. sweetened dried cranberries
cups (6 ounces) baby spinach leaves

Preheat oven to 375T.
Prepare two squares of foil. Holding each head of garlic on its side, cut the top 1-2 inches
off the bulb to expose the cloves. Place one head in the center of each foil square. Spray with
nonstick cooking spray and season with a pinch of salt. Close the foil packets and place on a
baking sheet. Roast for 45 minutes-1 hour, until garlic is caramelized and easily squeezes like
a paste from the head.
When the garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the cloves into the bowl of a food pro-
cessor fitted with a metal blade. Add the vinegar, honey, dill, Mrs. Dash, onion powder and 1/2
teaspoon salt. Pulse until combined. Thin with 3-4 Tbs. cold water. With the motor running,
drizzle in the olive oil. Dressing can be made in advance. Set aside.
Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and set it over medium heat. Add the red
pepper and onion. Saute until limp, about 6 minutes. Add the green beans and 2-3 tablespoons
water to steam lightly; cook until tender and bright green, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and dress lightly with the garlic-dill dressing (you may have
extra). In the pan, toss with cranberries and spinach. Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve warm or
at room temperature. Note: The dressing also is delicious over any green salad.
