I liked this dressing a lot but I agree that it has too much flavor for salad. I put it over chicken breast and some wild rice. It was excellent! I am just experimenting with growing my own basil and was looking for something to make with it. This was a great choice! Thanks!

Since I scaled this down to just two servings, I was unable to prepare this using a blender as there wasn't enough there to work with! So I chopped up everything real fine, then put Hubs to work with a mortar and pestle, which did the trick nicely. As I slowly drizzled in the olive oil it came together into a nice, rich emulsion. This was really good - both the fresh basil and garlic are evident, but neither overpowers. It is thicker than the typical vinaigrette as some reviewers commented, but I had no problem lightly dressing the salad with it.

As a salad dressing, way too thick...as a spread for grilled chicken, roasted peppers, fresh mozzarella and baby spinach on whole wheat hoagie rolls, absolutely delicious!!

This is VERY thick as written. You have to play with the ingredients as stated. I had to keep adding vinegar and oil to this plus a bit of sugar to get the desired taste and consistency.

I made this per the directions but I only had the cheap kind of parmesan--it still came out wonderful and so fragrant! I took it to a potluck and my salad was the only thing wiped out in minutes. Thank you so much.

Incredible fresh flavor, but I do grow my own basil. I used that, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper corns. I found it is awesome on chicken too, especially if you add two tablespoons each of minced onion and red sweet pepper.

My husband loved this dressing. It does have a strong flavor and would be best on salads with meat. I was making a salad that would have garlic chicken on top so I wanted something that might that some similar flavors. I didn't have fresh basil so I used dried. I also didn't bother chopping fresh garlic and instead used garlic powder. I didn't like the taste of it so I added sugar and lemon juice. After these additions, it was better. I will try it again.
