Garlic-Basil Balsamic Vinaigrette

Hello again, basil... I missed you all winter! I love this simple, flavorful dressing so much that sometimes I'll make a salad just so I can have this dressing. I've always been such a fan of balsamic! This recipe yields about one cup but you can certainly increase or decrease as needed.

Ingredients
3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2-3 cloves garlic
6 basil leaves
Salt/pepper to taste

Directions
Mince garlic and chiffonade basil.
In a small bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, garlic, basil, and salt/pepper.
Slowly pour in olive oil, whisking to combine.
Add additional salt/pepper to taste if needed.

Note: you can cover and store in the refrigerator for about 5-7 days. The olive oil may solidify in the fridge, but setting it out at room temperature before using will return it to normal.
