My basil is growing like crazy in the garden...what to do?
Basil Vinaigrette
2 cups packed basil leaves
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons shallot, minced
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons OT Garlic & Chive white balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon OT salt
1/2 cup OT olive oil, of choice I like arbequina, basil, or garlic.
Freshly ground OT black pepper to taste
In a blender place basil, shallot, lemon juice, vinegar garlic, salt, pepper and slowly drizzle in olive oil. Process until smooth. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Serve over your garden salad or roasted vegetables.
