Lemon Basil Dressing (Dairy, Gluten and Sugar Free)

I often create my own salad dressing as I don't always trust what comes in a store bought bottle.  I also like a simple oil and vinegar combination which is well much cheaper too.  This is a newer one I have been making.  It tastes wonderful on a spinach, arugula, kale or just drizzled on some avocado.

Ingredients (makes approximately 3/4 cup)

• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons honey or 3-5 drops liquid stevia (optional)
• 1 handful fresh basil
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender and purée until smooth.
2. I like the strain any leftover bits (unless your blender does a better job than mine) before I store it in a sealed container in the fridge.
