Basil Balsamic Dressing (Oil-Free!)
Report
A tangy and flavorful balsamic dressing with fresh basil and garlic. It's especially tasty in summer when basil is in peak season!
Share:
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Instructions
- Place all ingredients except basil in a small high-speed blender. (I use a NutriBullet.) Blend for 15-20 seconds.
- Add fresh basil and pulse a few times to break down and incorporate. (Over-blending will turn the dressing a greenish hue.)
- Taste and adjust flavors if needed. (More basil, more maple syrup for sweeter, etc.) Enjoy immediately or refrigerate to allow flavors to combine further.
Notes
- Thickness: This dressing is very thin as written. For a thicker consistency, add 1-2 tsp. chia seeds before blending. It will gradually thicken as it sits.
- Make it creamy: Add up to 1/4 cup hummus before blending.
- Make it sweeter: Add more maple syrup for sweetness and to reduce the tanginess.
- Yield: Recipe makes about 1/2 cup dressing.
