Basil is one of the easiest herbs to grow and adds flavor to many foods. In summer, I like to use it fresh in tossed salads like this.—Bobbie Talbott, Veneta, Oregon Ingredients:
2 cups torn leaf lettuce |
1 cup torn bibb lettuce |
3 green onions with tops, sliced |
1 medium tomato, peeled and diced |
6 fresh mushrooms, sliced |
9 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced |
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon salt, optional |
1/2 teaspoon sugar, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large salad bowl, combine the lettuce, onions, tomato, mushrooms and basil. In a jar with tight-fitting lid, combine the vinegar, oil, pepper and salt and sugar if desired. Cover; shake well. Pour over the salad; toss to coat. Serve immediately. Yield: 6 servings.
