Pretty good. I halved it and I didn't have fresh basil so I used dried. I bet it is 100% better with fresh - I will try again using that. This good on a spinach salad.

Not my taste - or my husbands. It was just missing something, I think.

I added extra vinegar and alittle less oil and honey than the original recipe. This combination is fantastic!! My husband said it was the best salad dressing he's ever had! Thanks!!

I grow my own basil and this is perfect for a quickie, I marinated my chicken breasts in it and grilled it, the honey gives it a wonderful carmelization type grilled flavor!

Good the first time - made with fresh basil. Second time not very nice but I made it with dry basil and put wayyyy to much.

I loved this dressing as is. I put it over cheese tortellini and chilled for an excellent pasta salad. Thanks for a great recipe!

Great taste! I followed others and added a little less oil but the honey and basil really balances everything out. Great refreshing change from those fat laden creamy dressings.

Perfect as is! It's not too sweet - a nice flavor. It goes well with any salad.

Very good vinaigrette but I do think there is a tad too much oil. I also agree with other reviews - I added a bit more vinegar to mine.

I used frozen basil because I did not have any fresh. I did not have fresh garlic so used garlic powder. Too much honey so will cut back a bit next time. Delicious. Will make again.

I followed the recipe exactly and loved it. I put it on a spinach salad with apples, feta cheese, sugared pecans, and cooked squash and onions.
