By gvcathy

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
• 3 Tbs. finely chopped fresh basil
• 1 large clove garlic, minced
• 1 Tbs. Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp. honey
• 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
• 1/8 tsp. freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Put all the ingredients in a glass measuring cup or a jar with a tight-fitting lid and whisk or vigorously shake to combine. Whisk again just before using. You can store the vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, but don’t add the basil until 15 to 30 minutes before using.
