Description
If you’ve got a huge harvest of basil from the garden or market, this vibrant vinaigrette with a little chili kick is a great way to use it up. Drizzle it over any favorite salad, including sliced tomatoes with burrata cheese, and try it over grilled chicken, pork, or seafood. The dressing, which makes 1 ¼ cups, keeps 1 week in the fridge — good thing, because you’re going to want to add it to everything. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Ashley Strickland Freeman(https://www.yummly.c…

Ingredients
- 1 small shallot (peeled and quartered)
- 2 garlic cloves (peeled)
- 2 cups fresh basil leaves (packed)
- 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 pinch sugar
- 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
- salt (to taste)
- black pepper (to taste)
Directions
- In a food processor with the motor running, drop the shallot and garlic through the feed tube and whirl until minced. Remove the lid and add basil, olive oil, vinegar, sugar, lemon juice, sugar, and red pepper flakes.
- Process until the vinaigrette is very smooth, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Serve, or transfer vinaigrette to a refrigerator-safe container and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
