Basil, Balsamic Vinegar and Pine Nut Dressing

You’ll find pleasure for your palate with this salad dressing full of fresh chopped basil and toasted pine nuts.
By Nicole Criss

With spring in full swing, the palate tends to turn towards green.  Fresh leaves abound in the green markets in New York City, waiting to be topped with chopped tomatoes, sprinkled with walnuts, adorned with marinated anchovies.  They need fresh dressing like spring flowers beg the sky for water.

Making fresh salad dressing requires such minimal effort. You can store it for several days or even a week in your refrigerator and you’ll save yourself the excess salt and sometimes sugar lurking in store bought dressings.  This lovely dressing from Jamie Oliver can brighten any salad with the summery taste of basil, sharp balsamic and toasted pine nuts.
