Spinach Salad w/Fabulous Basil Dressing

This dressing recipe is compliments of my good friend (and amazing cook) Cara. For the actual salad, just make it how you like it. Below are suggested ingredients.
Spinach or mixed greens Grilled chicken  
Granny Smith Apple slices  
bleu cheese or other cheese pecans, pine nuts, if wanted craisins or raisins- it really makes the salad better, i promise.
If you REALLY want a treat, cut up small pieces of bread, drizzle with EVOO, toast em and then dribble bleu cheese on top and melt that under the broiler. YUM-MEEEE. But not low-fat.

Dressing: 1 small package fresh basil, 
1/2c. sugar 1/2 c. apple cider vin 
1c. extra virgin olive oil 1 clove garlic  
salt & pepp

Dressing Directions- In food processor or blender, chop up the basil and garlic. Add the apple cider vin, sugar, S&P. Blend. Slowly drizzle in the EVOO while blending until nice and frothy. Will keep for a few days in the fridge.
