Ingredients

  • 1 large shallot, diced (about 1/2 cup)
  • a handful fresh basil leaves (about 1 cup very loosely packed)

  • 1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
  • 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • a few turns freshly ground black pepper


Instructions

  1. Place all the ingredients in a quart-size jar (or similar receptacle).
  2. Using an immersion blender, blend for about a minute, or until the shallots and basil are pureed and the dressing is emulsified.
