  • Small wooden skewers about 4-6 inches long
  • Maldon sea salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper

For the basil vinaigrette

  • 1 shallot roughly chopped
  • 2 cups tightly packed fresh basil leaves stems removed (about 4 ounces)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • Arrange skewers on platter. Drizzle with basil vinaigrette and sprinkle with maldon sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Notes

Feel free to swap out to another one of my vinaigrette recipes. Also, the dressing will keep for a week in the fridge, so you'll want to use it on everything!
