Fresh Basil Vinaigrette

Step 1

In a food processor with the motor running, drop the shallot and garlic through the feed tube and whirl until minced. Remove the lid and add basil, olive oil, vinegar, sugar, lemon juice, sugar, and red pepper flakes.

Step 2

Process until the vinaigrette is very smooth, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Serve, or transfer vinaigrette to a refrigerator-safe container and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
