Now, I know that I really should not snip leaves off of my herbs the day after I plant them. However, I recently saw Martha Stewart make a lovely peach and red onion salad on Today, and I wanted to try it last night with nectarines (Corey’s fruit of choice). It calls for fresh basil. So, I snipped a few leaves. I snipped one small section each off two of the three plants. I kept them in a glass of water until I made the salad.
The recipe can be found at http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/43063452/ns/today-food/. I used three nectarines and decided that was probably the equivalent of two peaches, so I halved all of the other ingredients.
My only complaint was the salt. Corey didn’t mind it, but I thought the recipe called for too much. Next time I will probably omit it. All of the other ingredients were excellent.
