Basil is more than just a kitchen staple – it’s a symbol of summer. At Farmer Soul, we believe in celebrating the freshness of nature, and nothing captures that better than our hand-harvested, aromatic basil. Today, we’re sharing a quick, vibrant salad that puts basil front and center.

🥗 Basil-Infused Summer Salad

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini)
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
• A handful of fresh basil leaves (or 1 tsp of Farmer Soul dried basil)
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tbsp balsamic glaze
• Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, toss together tomatoes, mozzarella, and onion.
2. Add in basil leaves, tearing them by hand to release flavor.
   • Using dried basil? Rub it gently between your fingers before adding it in.
3. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze.
4. Season with salt and pepper. Toss gently.
5. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

🌱 Farmer Soul Tip:

If you’re using our dried basil, soak it in a bit of olive oil for 5 minutes before adding – it’ll release a rich, earthy aroma that brings the whole dish to life.
