Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 ounces fresh Basil tops and leaves
  • 1 ounce fresh mint tops and leaves
  • 1/4 cup white onion
  • 1 clove large of garlic
  • 1 tablespoon low carb sugar ((or Swerve, Lakanto))
  • 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
  • 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup of lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup of light olive oil (or salad oil)
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instruction

  • Put all of the ingredients except the oils into a blender and pack the leaves down toward the blades with a spatula or a spoon. Blend the ingredients into a puree, turning off the blender and pushing and stirring when necessary.
  • With the blender running on low, slowly add the oil. When completely incorporated, taste and adjust the seasoning. It should be just a little sweet, have a nice acidic bite and be balanced. Adjust the seasonings per your taste.
  • Pour into a container that has a good seal and refrigerate. It will separate in the fridge, just let it warm up a little on the counter and shake or stir before serving.
