Ingredients and Equipment
Apple Cider Vinegar – you can substitute a variety of vinegars here for different flavors, but my favorite is definitely apple cider vinegar. It complements the honey for the perfect balance of tart and sweet. I recommend Bragg’s ACV for the best results. Honey – honey adds both flavor and sweetness. I’ve also used agave nectar when I’ve been out of honey and it also worked well. Garlic – for best results use fresh garlic as opposed to garlic powder. Fresh Basil – there is no substitute for fresh basil here. You are also welcome to add or substitute part of it for other favorite herbs. Oil – olive oil, avocado oil, or vegetable oil all work well here. Olive oil will impart a flavor, and avocado or vegetable oil will be neutral.

Serving Suggestions
This Honey Basil Vinaigrette is great on any favorite salad, but is also incredibly versatile beyond the salad bowl. I love it on grilled veggies, drizzled over sandwiches (BLT’s!), over rice bowls or pasta with grilled chicken or steak, or with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and fruit.
