Creamy Balsamic Basil Vinaigrette Recipe
Our balsamic basil vinaigrette combines tangy balsamic vinegar, fresh basil, and a hint of garlic for a balanced dressing that’s both bold and smooth. This dressing stands out with its herby basil notes and slightly creamy texture from the dijon mustard, making it rich without dairy. Perfect for drizzling over salads, grain bowls, or roasted veggies, it’s easy to make and hard to beat.

Notes
- No Blender? No Problem: Finely mince the garlic and fresh basil if you don’t have a blender. Then add all ingredients to a mason jar with a tight lid and shake vigorously for about a minute until well combined.
- Storage: Keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use.
