Ingredients

- 2 cups oil
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
Instructions

- Using a whisk, whisk the ingredients together while slowly drizzling in the oil to make sure it stays emulsified.
- Finish by seasoning it with salt and pepper and serve.
Notes
- Chef Notes:
- Make-Ahead: You can make this recipe up to 3 days ahead of time. You can absolutely serve this right away, but more flavors will come out with time.
- How to Store: Place covered in the refrigerator for up 7 days. This will not freeze.
- You can also use whole grain mustard instead of Dijon mustard
- Sub out the sugar with honey or agave if you desire.
- Feel free to use any oil that you’d like, but I recommend a soft very light virgin olive oil or any other neutral-flavored oil like sunflower oil. You can also blend the oils together.
- If you do not like fresh basil, you can also use fresh thyme or even rosemary to alter the flavor.
- Sub out the 8-10 fresh basil leaves for 1 ½ teaspoons of dry basil.
- You can also make this recipe in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment.
