How good is this? Just went over to the greenhouse pulled enough basil leaves right off the plant and made the salad. Well, I couldn't even wait for dinner, I just kept dipping the dressing with mushrooms, carrots, and cucumber. Oh how we loved this on the farm! I gave my Dad a salad, and made an extra for Dennis, and we were done the dressing. I used fresh, really fresh basil since I grow it 365 days a year. The recipe as written for us, on Longmeadow Farm was perfection ~ and loved every bite. Thank you Boomette the farm changed nothing. Made for SSC Pet Parade July 2008.

This is a great salad, easy to make and with a lovely basil dressing. I made it just as listed except I used a sweet Vidalia onion instead of red onion. It was just right (for us). Made for Photo Tag.

This was easy to put together but for us we thought the basil dressing drowned out all the other flavors. Very strong flavor. And I only used a little over a third of a cup of basil.

This is wonderful! I used center-cut bacon and omitted the avocado (personal preference). The dressing is very good and easy to make. This made a nice lunch for my DH and I. Thanks for sharing!

This is a great salad and a wonderful dressing. We omitted the avocado for personal preference and took the advice of another reviewer and used 1/3 cup of basil and it was perfect. I didn't get to serve the salad with the toasted baguette slices because while there was a baguette last night, seems like DH had a late night sandwich.

Great flavor, of coarse, I love basil, so go figure. Made for the everyday's a holiday tag, and glad I did. Served for dinner last night, daughter loved it, so did hubby. Thanks for another keeper.

Loved both the salad and the dressing: all the ingredients had us right in our comfort zone when it comes to flavours. I halved the recipe for just two of us, and followed it with only a few minor adjustments. I still used a whole avocado (just LOVE avocado, and they really are best eaten the day they are cut open) and I used creamy Greek yoghurt in the dressing (basically, it's the only yoghurt I ever use). I also added 1/4 cup of chopped pistachios to the salad. They added some extra crunch and flavour! Thanks for sharing this great recipe, Boomette! Made for the Please Review My Recipe tag game.

I made this awhile back and forgot to review it! Sorry! It was delicious! I used veggie bacon and scaled the recipe back for 2. Thanks France! Made for PRMR.
