This dressing is so good I could drink it. But I won't. But I want to:
In a food processor, combine:
1 bunch sweet basil, leaves only
1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves, chopped
3 green onions
3 cloves garlic
1 large egg or two small eggs
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 tbs honey
salt and pepper
Blend until smooth then slowly add 1/4 cup oil (grapeseed or a mild oil works best). I love Wildtree Basil Pesto Oil in this one! Yummy.
This recipe is really good in a vinaigrette too. Just omit the egg and up the vinegar to 1/2 cup.
I am a working mommy. I *wish* I could make a huge dinner every night for my family that was cheap, healthy, and organic, but it's just not possible between my schedule, soccer practice, etc. The recipes in my blog are designed for parents who need healthy recipes that kids love.
About the Chef
- Alexia
- Oregon, United States
- My name is Alexia. I have lived in NE Oregon for most of my life, and love it here because it's where my family is. I have 3 younger sisters, 3 younger brothers, and a million cousins. I live with my husband and our three boys, and our dog Norman. My family is Greek/ Cajun/ Mexican, so food is very important to us;-) I love cooking and creating new recipes, my kids, my family, wine, painting, and everything retro! I am a dialysis technician. I love my job and my patients. I am currently studying to be a nurse. I love school, and so far it has been good to me... Dean's List or Honor Roll each term! Between work, school, my husband, our kids and all of their activities and adventures, I don't have a ton of time to blog. I love sharing recipes, so I make time for it when I can. You can follow me on Pinterest for more ideas and inspiration (thanks to those of you that have pinned my recipes!): pinterest.com/lexisamom .
