Vegan Caesar Salad Dressing

I don't know where this recipe originates. I've had it scribbled on an index card for several years. What I do know is that I have made it several times and it's always fantastic. I highly recommend it on crunchy romaine lettuce leaves.

3 cloves garlic
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons gluten-free tamari
