Ingredients

  • 1/2 peeled shallot, minced
  • 8 to 10 fresh basil leaves, finely minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cups light olive oil
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Gather the minced shallots, minced basil leaves, mustard, sugar and balsamic vinegar in a medium-size bowl.

  2. Grab your whisk and give it a stir so that the ingredients are well combined.

  3. Whisk the mixture continuously as you slowly drizzle in the olive oil so that the vinaigrette stays emulsified.

  4. Check it out for taste and add salt & pepper as needed.

  5. Keep in a covered jar in the refrigerator for up to one week.
