Three cloves of garlic seemed a bit much, so I used two, but it still seemed overpowering (and I love garlic!). Also, it needed something a little tangy/sweet. Next time I'll eliminate the garlic and add some organic pickle relish. I love the texture of the dressing, and the peas were a nice touch for added flavor, and a nice presentation.
