In a smallish mixing bowl start with 1 cup of real good extra virgin olive oil and 1/3 cup good Modena balsamic vinegar. A splash of red wine, pinch of salt, pinch of black pepper, 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese. Cut a lemon in half and squeeze the juice from both halves in to the mix and put the skins in. Add a few fresh basil leaves chopped up or a generous pinch of dried. Whisk it up, leave the whisk in the bowl and put it in the fridge. Whisk it up a few times while it's getting it's stuff together waiting for it's debut. It goes great with spinach salad. In fact you can also see it  included in our spinach salad recipe.
