Basil Vinaigrette

Good as a dressing, but also good as a dip for breads, a topping for tomato slices or pasta, etc.

Ingredients

1 small garlic clove
1 cup packed basil leaves (coarsely chopped)
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 ½ tablespoons Champagne vinegar (I used balsamic)
Pinch of crushed red pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

In a food processor, pulse the garlic until chopped. Add the basil and pulse until finely chopped. Add the oil, vinegar and crushed red pepper and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
