Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. This recipe was developed and tested at its original yield and has not been tested at other yields. Note that only the ingredient list is scaled, so you may need to make adjustments to ingredient amounts, cooking times and equipment sizes in the recipe steps. Scaling could also impact the nutrition analysis. Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings 1 small shallot, peeled and quartered ½ cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar 2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard ½ teaspoon ground pepper ¼ teaspoon salt Directions Combine shallot, basil, oil, vinegar, honey (or agave), mustard, pepper and salt in a blender.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
