2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons olive oil, for drizzling
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper, freshly ground

I live in Manchester, UK with my fiance and young son. I work at the local hospital in pediatrics and love my job. I also love cooking!! I have a sweet tooth but try and make healthy family meals, I'm not against some lovely treats now and then though :)
