Basil Vinaigrette image

From Rebar Cookbook, this is a very versatile vinaigrette that can be used on salads, as a marinade for grilled vegetables, or drizzled on a sandwich of artichokes, fresh tomato, lettuce, spanish onion, and fontina cheese on crusty italian bread - yum! For a vegan version, substitute maple syrup for the honey.
