Shaved parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Notes

* The Basil EVOO has a wonderfully fresh and herbaceous flavor. Paired with the Limoncello Vinegar and Runamok Maple Syrup, this dressing has a wonderful citrusy and sweet flavor that complements the spicy arugula.

 

You can certainly replace the Basil oil with an Unflavored oil but the Limoncello Vinegar has a unique sweet, tart and citrusy flavor that is hard to replicate. Feel free to use honey or your favorite true maple syrup for the emulsifier if you prefer.
