This Basil Vinaigrette is like summer in a jar and you can use it in any number of ways! This easy-to-make homemade dressing comes together in the blender in just a few minutes. From there you can drizzle it over your favorite salad, toss it together with cooked potatoes, or use it for your next pasta salad. It's packed with fresh basil flavor and my favorite way to use it is drizzled over vine-ripe tomatoes all summer long.
Add the white wine vinegar, garlic, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and basil leaves to the blender.
Blend starting on low speeds and working up to medium until the dressing is smooth with small green flecks of basil remaining.
Season to taste with sea salt, pepper, and maple syrup if desired and serve.
