Report
This bright vinaigrette is easy to make and adds a lovely fresh zing to whatever you use it with.

Ingredients
- ¼ oz basil ¼oz is approx ¼ cup, loosely packed, leaves
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon garlic crushed/finely grated
- ¼ teaspoon honey
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients in a small food processor or blender and pulse to combine (though you may need to double/triple amount depending on what you have). Alternatively, you can finely chop the basil then whisk everything together in a bowl, or shake in a small jar. Watch that the honey hasn't fallen to the bottom, it may need an extra stir to combine.
- Use immediately or store in the fridge for a few days - you will need to shake/whisk to recombine before using.
Notes
- Note if you use a blender, the basil will likely break up more and so the dressing will become more green and smooth, rather than with slight chunks of leaves as in the photos here (my food processor doesn't break up that well). By hand will also have more 'bits' of basil'. All ways will taste great, just look a little different.
