# What You'll Need:
→ Vinaigrette Base
01 -
1/2 cup olive oil
02 -
1 teaspoon lemon zest
03 -
1 cup fresh basil, packed loosely
04 -
2 tablespoons honey
05 -
1 garlic clove, chopped up fine
06 -
2 tablespoons lemon juice about one lemon
07 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
08 -
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Spoon the dressing into a container with a tight lid. You can pop it in the fridge for a few days or just use it right away.
02 -
Turn your blender or processor on, then pour in the olive oil nice and slow. Let it mix until everything looks blended and thick.
03 -
Keep pulsing about 20 times, till the basil gets chopped really fine and the mix looks blended.
04 -
Throw the basil, honey, chopped garlic, wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and lemon zest into your food processor.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Grab the freshest basil and real lemon juice if you want the flavors to pop. The color can fade in the fridge, so use your dressing up within 3 or 4 days. Keep it cold.
02 -
Blend it well so it stays smooth and mixed, and you won't see oil separating from the rest.
