Basil Vinaigrette is a simple and healthy salad dressing made using fresh basil, extra virgin olive oil and white wine vinegar. Here is a simple recipe to make Basil Vinaigrette.

After eating heavy meals back to back in parties or during festivals, you kind of crave for something light yet rejuvenating. Also, in order to break even all those accumulated calories, salads and coolers work the best!

Whenever we get fed up of heavy meals, I prepare fre

t just takes a few minutes to make this dressing and all you have to do is to drizzle it on the salad. A salad as basic as summer tomatoes and mozzarella with a drizzle of this dressing tastes great.

Basil Vinaigrette is simply made using extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, basil and a few cloves of garlic for that punch of flavor. A few spoons of this dressing gave my favourite roasted vegetable salad a nice flavour. Also, the good news is that I can store the remaining dressing in the refrigerator and could use it for upto 2 weeks or 10-12 days for making different salads.

If you are a big time salad fan like me then you could also add this to Zucchini and Roasted Corn Salad or whichever salad you like and make it more lip-smacking! You could anytime follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to try your hands on interesting recipes and receive foodie updates.
