Oilve Oil 1 Cup

Directions:

Saute garlic with 1 tbspn oil till light brown.  Cool.

In large mixing bowl place garlic, honey, sugar and mix well.  Coddle an egg (cook exactly 40 seconds in boiling water)  the egg will have a little white and serves as the glue to adhere the dressing while killing bacteria.  Whisk this till frothy.  Slowly add the remaining oil till it thickens the dressing.  Add salt and pepper and last ingredient balsamic vinegar.  The color should be a nice brown and this can be adjusted to your taste- a little less or more will only change the overall flavor.
