You can serve this with a hearty Italian or French bread and a glass of red table wine and have it this way or serve it as a salad with a meal or as an extra with a sandwich plate instead of pickles. The sweet basil can also be torn into small pieces and added to a regular lettus garden salad and topped with your favorite dressing. This is my recipe and I would be interested to know how you liked it when you give it a try......Enjoy........Ray
