Basil Aioli Dipping Sauce
Aug 18, 2008
Peruse local markets for a selection of tomatoes in different sizes, shapes and colours. If you can't find heirloom tomatoes, don't worry – this salad is delicious with any variety. While you're shopping, look for local feta or other dry salty cheeses and crusty bread to serve alongside.
This all-green salad makes a great side dish for grilled chicken or burgers. You can prepare and refrigerate the vegetables up to three days prior. Just toss them with the dressing at the last minute so that they stay crisp.
Use this punchy Thai-inspired sauce to marinate steak or chicken, mix it with corn as it's cooking or toss it with vegetables before roasting.
For a nonalcoholic alternative, double the pineapple juice and omit the vodka. Garnish with a basil leaf or sprig of pineapple basil.
