i would like to recommend when preparing the dressing to mince the garlic into the oil with a fork - i usually prepare the dressing in a bowl, starting w/ the olive oil, then mash the garlic into the oil w/ the fork (when you think you've mashed it enough, do it a little bit more) and then add the rest of the dressing ingredients. i then put any salad ingredients on top of the dressing and toss it all in the bowl. you can wait to toss until right before eating if you are making anything else as part of the meal.
