I was introduced to the wonderful combination of fruit and basil by my chef brother Jake. We had this awesome mango sorbet with basil leaves for dessert one time at his restaurant. He told us to make sure we had a taste of basil with every bite. This began my love of the combination of basil and fruit. I recently stumbled upon an article in Real Simple magazine with five new things to do with basil. I tried this Watermelon with feta and basil salad. What a great combination.
Watermelon with Feta and Basil
Watermelon cut into chunks
Olive oil
Salt and Pepper
Feta cheese, crumbled
Fresh basil leaves, snipped or chopped
Sprinkle watermelon chunks with olive oil until coated. Season with salt and pepper. Top with feta cheese and basil toss and serve.
So fresh and simple!
This could work with any kind of fruit. Strawberries and fresh basil are one of my favorites.
