Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Blush wine vinegar
- 6 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the blush wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and maple syrup until fully combined.
Add the minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir to mix the seasonings evenly.
Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the vinaigrette, which means it should thicken slightly as you mix it.
Add the freshly chopped basil and whisk until the herbs are evenly distributed.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or maple syrup according to your preference.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a clean jar or bottle for storage. Shake well before each use.
Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Stir or shake before serving to restore the perfect consistency.
