Basil: My favorite summer herb


Basil.
So delicious added at the last minute to sauteed zucchini or sprinkled over a quick salad of tomatoes, mozzarella and olive oil. I put my freshly cut basil in a glass of water on my kitchen window sill and change the water out every few days. If it roots, I count my lucky stars because that means it will last a really long time. I just harvest the lower leaves for my dish d'jour.
Nothing says summer like basil...grab a bouquet for your window sill today.
