Sweet and Spicy Salad with Basil Vinaigrette
In my opinion, it’s a crime if you don’t take advantage of the fresh basil we have available this time of year. I love the sweet and spicy flavor basil gives this simple vinaigrette.
Be sure to add fresh greens and tomatoes from the local farmers market, and top with salty Parmesan cheese. You’ll be amazed at the difference fresh local veggies make in your cooking. They really take a meal to a whole different level.
Happy cooking!
