Delicious fresh basil vinaigrette: Our delicious fresh basil vinaigrette is better made fresh and served the same day. Which is what makes it DELICIOUS!
This is an extremely versatile dressing and is fabulous tossed into a simple salad or even more complex salads with mixed greens, vegetables and fruits. Possibly the most delicious way of all is to gather a few sun-warmed tomatoes, slice them open then drizzle them in our fresh basil vinaigrette. You will think you have died and gone to culinary heaven!
Use either purple or the more familiar green basil to create your delicious fresh basil vinaigrette. We used purple basil which has a lightly liquorice flavour that will go well with a fresh fennel salad.
