Basil-Agave Vinaigrette

This Basil-Agave Vinaigrette took my salads to a whole other level! Add it to sandwiches, salads, or use it as a dip for flatbread or chips.

This vinaigrette takes me back to the first time I ever tried it on top of a Chickpea Tuna Salad from Steamed in Long Beach, CA. It was served under a bed of mixed greens and a side of house-made tortilla chips.

I never really bothered to make it on my own basil-agave vinaigrette until I concocted my very own copycat Chickpea Tuna Salad. It was so so so good. I was pretty impressed with myself for being able to duplicate the flavor. I made it recently and served it alongside some pickled veggies and avocado

Here’s that I made in salad in full swing:

The only thing that was missing were the blue corn tortilla chips.

The combo of the basil and the sweet agave just really kicks the chickpea tuna up a notch! You’ve been warned.
