Instructions

Put the basil in your food processor.
Rough chop garlic and add to food processor.
Rough chop shallot and add to food processor.
Add lemon zest, lemon juice, Dijon mustard.
Add olive oil and white wine vinegar.
Blend well then taste. Since there is Dijon mustard in the dressing and that is already a bit salty I usually don’t add any additional salt here. If you think it needs a pinch of salt, then go for it.
