Warm Potato Salad with Roasted Garlic Dressing

Warm potatoes and carrots, aroma of roasted garlic and creaminess from the sauce make this salad a delightful culinary experience.

I love to make this salad as a side for formal dinners with some baked fish or lamb leg roast, or on its own as a complete meal any day of the week.

But not just carbs, it has healthy proteins and fats too that make it a balanced and fulfilling meal.
