Equipment

  • 1 knife
  • 1 butcher board
  • 1 set of measuring cups
  • 1 pint mason jar with lid

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup simple syrup (1 cup water and 1cup sugar dissolved)
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 splash apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper
  • 12 leaves basil Or just a handful

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients from the simple syrup to the salt and pepper into a small sauce pot. Cut and chop basil and put into the pot. Bring to a light boil. Let cool.
    Pour into a mason jar. Shake and it's ready to use!
    NOTE: If you don't have simple syrup--easy! Heat up a sauce pot with 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water and it's done! From here you can add all your ingredients to the pot of simple syrup, stir, then into the mason jar to serve.
    NOTE: You don't have to boil the dressing if you leave it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight. The longer this dressing sits, the more the flavors marry. Honestly, you don't have to boil it at all...yet, boiling is the way it will infuse into the oil the best :)
