Basil Parsley Vinaigrette |
- 1 cup basil
- ¼ cup of olive oil
- 1 crushed clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon of champagne vinaigrette
- 1 teaspoon of agave or honey
- 1 cup of fresh flat leaf parsley
- ½ a tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
I highly recommend YS Organic Pure Honey or Tabasco Mcilhenny Pure Honey when using honey especially for weight loss and health purposes.
Instructions:
In a food processor, put all the dressing ingredients and blend till well combined (make sure that they do not puree-you must be able to see green flecks) then add salt and pepper to taste.Shave the unpeeled zucchinis into coin shapes (use a mandolin)
Toss some of the vinaigrette; scallions and zucchini together and adjust the seasoning.
Arrange on a platter (white platters work best as they bring out the color clash). Top with the dried tomatoes, pine nut, and feta cheese or red pepper flakes if you prefer the taste.
