Basil honey mustard dressing

AuthorMilena M
This basil honey mustard dressing should always be in your fridge. Bright, tangy, slightly sweet, and savory. It's super versatile. Use it in salads, as a dip, or as a sauce for other dishes like roasted veggies, chicken, charcuterie, or even pasta.

Servings200 grams

Ingredients
  

  • 15 grams basil leaves and tops, ⅓ cup
  • 100 ml olive oil, ½ cup
  • 45 ml balsamic, 3 tablespoons
  • tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2-3 tablespoons water, for thinner dressing, optional

Instructions

  1. Combine all the ingredients except the water in a deep bowl or container. Using an immersion blender, blend for a few seconds until creamy with some basil bits still visible. If you want the dressing thinner, add water a tablespoon at a time until desired thickness.
    You can also use a food processor or a blender if an immersion blender is not available.
