Break off individual cloves of roasted garlic, and squeeze out each one into the blender. Blend until smooth, and adjust seasonings to taste. Pour into a refrigerator container or serving bowl. Chill thoroughly. Before serving, garnish each bowl with a few pieces of diced avocado and a pinch or two of chopped cilantro or parsley. Makes about 6 servings.
