Basil Balsamic Vinaigrette
Basil balsamic dressing is healthy, flavorful and easy to make. With just six ingredients and five minutes of prep time, it's great for salads, marinades, sandwiches, and wraps. Plus, it's vegan, gluten free, dairy free, Whole30, paleo, and low-carb, making it a versatile choice for any diet. The fresh, bright taste of basil and balsamic vinegar make it a delicious addition to any dish.
Add all the ingredient for the dressing to the blender.
Blend on high 1 minute until smooth.
Notes
Top tips
Remove the thick stems from the basil before adding it to the blender.
Love a slightly sweeter dressing? Add a little sweetness to this dressing by adding 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup or honey
If you find that your dressing is not emulsifying, add a little dijon mustard. This will help the oil and the vinegar emulsify and thicken the vinaigrette.
The oil will start to solidify in the fridge from the cold temperature. If this happens, let the dressing sit out for a few minutes (5-15 minutes) to allow the dressing to come to room temperature. Shake well once the oil has returned to its liquid state.
If you really love garlic, add 1 or 2 cloves of garlic to the dressing along with the garlic powder.
Storing leftovers
Fridge: Store this basil balsamic vinaigrette in an container with a well fitting lid for up to 5 days.
Freezer: You can freeze this dressing for up to 3 months, however the color of the dressing will change when frozen, so I don’t really love the idea of freezing this dressing.
