Basil Vinaigrette

Ingredients

• 1 packed cup fresh basil
• 1 small clove garlic; peeled
• 1 Tbsp plus 1 1/2 tsp red or white wine vinegar
• 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1/2 tsp honey
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

1. Place basil in a blender or food processor fitted with the blade attachment.
2. Add garlic clove, red or white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and kosher salt. If using a blender, push the basil down with the tamper if necessary and blend on low speed; if using a food processor, pulse until the basil is coarsely chopped.
3. With the motor running, slowly pour in extra-virgin olive oil and process, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed, until emulsified and smooth, 30 to 60 seconds.
