Using Our Herbs!!

First you must gather your Ingredients. here we have
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup white wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice.









So next we go ahead and finely chop out basil.
Then measure a table spoon of seasoning salt and add it to the basil.
Next measure 3/4 of a tea spoon and add that to the mix.
Then measure 3/4 cup of vegetable oil or olive oil which ever you prefer.
Next add 3/4 White wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar again whatever you prefer.
Now here the recipe says to add 1 table spoon to the mix but i find a hole lemon tastes much better.

Lastly after all everything is mixed together let the concoction sit over night so the basil has time to dupers throughout the mixture.

Now this recipe is online but The alterations that I made I got from a family recipe that I got from my mother.

Now why did I do this?

Well first of all we are growing an herb garden in our classroom as a way to live sustainable. So since we grew them, why not eat them I mean that's why they are there, to eat right. Anyway as soon as i made this basil vinaigrette i had to try it. Even though I didn't let it set it still tasted epic. It had a burst of lemon followed by a kick from the basil and vinegar working together. It was soooooooooooo gooooooooooooooood ^^. now if I was to do this again I wouldn't change a thing for it's a family tradition plus if something is good why change it? What I really want to do is find more family recipes and see if i can make my own twist on it.
