Instructions

In a blender or mini chopper, combine vinegars, basil, shallot, parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and honey and blend well for 1-2 minutes.
When the mixture is pale green with the basil dispersed throughout, remove the center piece from the top of the blender lid and with the blender running slowing drizzle the oils into the opening.
When the mixture is emulsified, (come together to form a thick liquid that doesn’t separate) add the salt and pepper to taste and blend to combine.
Transfer the dressing to a serving cruet and serve.

Notes

Store any extra dressing in the refrigerator. If the dressing begins to separate, whisk or stir to re-emulsify. Bring dressing to room temperature before serving for best taste.
