Loaded with basil, this easy vinaigrette is perfectly fresh and zingy! A great marinade or salad dressing I use this Basil Balsamic Vinaigrette for tons of recipes!

And since you can get fresh basil in the stores all year long, this vinaigrette isn't just for summer anymore! I love it over roasted veggies for a warm, winter twist.

Basil and Balsamic Vinaigrette Recipe

This is actually a super simple recipe. Its a basic vinaigrette which combines oil and vinegar plus fresh herbs and spices to make a dressing!

  • 1/2 cup fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tablespoons lemon pepper

These easy ingredients all get combined in a blender cup to create a bright green sauce, dip, or marinade!

You may also be wondering do basil and balsamic go together? HECK YES! They both are perfectly bright and when combined with the lemon pepper and olive oil, makes the absolute best marinade for chicken, fish, or shrimp!

How To Store Homemade Salad Dressing

My favorite way to store this salad dressing is in an extra mason jar that I keep in the cabinet.

However you could also use a small, airtight Tupperware and store for up to 5 days in the fridge.

How To Use It

I have a few recipes that this delicious Basil Balsamic Vinaigrette go well with.

The first being these Marinated Chicken Thighs. A grilled chicken thigh marinated in this bright, basil-y vinaigrette!

It would also make a fantastic salad dressing for the Peach Prosciutto Salad!
