Can you freeze Basil Vinaigrette?
I would not recommend you to freeze this dressing, as it would not taste as fresh as it would do when you immediately use it after making.
But, you can freeze “ice cubes” of basil suspended in olive oil.
Just when you want to make the dressing, defrost the frozen basil cubes and mix it with other ingredients required for the dressing.
