Equipment

  • blender

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 small shallot
  • 1 to 2 cloves garlic*
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • ¼ to ½ teaspoons coarse salt
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup fresh parsley packed
  • 1 cup fresh basil or basil and fresh thyme blend**

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Taste and adjust anything as needed. Use as a salad dressing, mix with pasta salad, use in sandwiches, wraps, serve with grilled meat, veggies or grilled bread. This vinaigrette is so versatile! Enjoy!
  • Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to two weeks. The herbs will settle to the bottom as it sits. Shake it up or mix together again before serving. When the dressing has been stored in the fridge for a while, it may thicken. Let it come to room temperature before mixing and serving.

Notes

*start with 1. or, add 2 if a more garlic forward vinaigrette is desired
**if you do the basil and fresh thyme blend, I only add about a tablespoon of fresh thyme (leaves only) and the rest is fresh basil
