Balsamic Vinaigrette

I've decided to post just one recipe at a time, to make it easier to find stuff. This comes after making myself crazy trying to find recipes to remind myself how I make stuff. This time, it's Balsamic Vinaigrette, which I find really yummy. It was pretty surprising for a first attempt.

Balsamic Vinaigrette

Ingredients:

3 cloves garlic, chopped
3 cubes frozen basil from Trader Joes (can just add some dried)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 - 1/2 tsp ground red pepper
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (Trader Joe's is great)
1/8 cup water
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Put all ingredients in a blender or Magic Bullet and blend until homogenized.

Serve on mixed green lettuce. Great additions are ripe tomatoes, pine nuts and flavored feta cheese crumbles.
