Georgian Garlic Salad

Ingredients

 * 50 cloves of garlic, peeled
 * 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
 * ½ cup fresh lemon juice (or balsamic vinegar)
 * ½ tsp salt
 * 1 tsp freshly ground or cracked black pepper
 * 1 tbsp herbs

Directions

 * 1) Start by peeling all that garlic.
 * 2) Now bring a saucepan of water to boil.
 * 3) Once the water is boiling, turn off heat and drop garlic cloves into hot water.
 * 4) Let sit in water for 3 to 5 minutes (use the shorter time if you like a sharper raw garlic flavor; the longer time results in a much milder garlic flavor).
 * 5) Remove garlic and plunge into (or rinse thoroughly with) cold water to stop the cloves from "cooking" any further.
 * 6) Dissolve the salt into the lemon juice.
 * 7) Now make a "vinaigrette" with the olive oil, lemon juice/salt, pepper and herbs.
 * 8) Place garlic into jars and pour oil mixture to top the cloves.
 * 9) Refrigerate.
