Gather all your ingredients: fresh basil leaves, extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, garlic cloves, onion powder, salt, and lemon juice.

In a food processor or high-speed blender, add the fresh basil leaves, olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, garlic cloves, onion powder, salt, and lemon juice.

Blend the mixture on high for about 30-60 seconds, or until it's perfectly smooth and emulsified.

Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, honey, or lemon juice according to your preference.

Pour the vinaigrette into a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Drizzle over salads, grilled vegetables, or use it as a marinade. Shake before using.
