Basil Recipes

Sweet peaches and tangy tomatoes pair perfectly in this simple summer salad.

This delicious is a hit at parties, and it's so easy to make it's almost embarrassing to share the recipe!

This tasty spread is great on sandwiches or with fresh-cut veggies.

Broiled Sea Bass with Pineapple-Chili Basil Glaze

More than just plain cheese, this pizza will wake up your taste buds.

These bean cakes are yummy and great for you. Served with the salsa, it makes a very colorful and festive presentation. I serve these with a lite side salad. Plenty of protein and fiber. Even my meat loving hubby loves this meal.

Got this recipe from Price Chopper (our local grocery store) and have made it twice. My whole family liked this one which says alot for the recipe. The recipe says to use a grill but I used my George Foreman grill and it worked beatifully. Also, you can use Promise Margarine to lower the fat grams.

I love cream of tomato soup with gorgonzola, but I'm not up for the usual 500 calories a serving with over 25 grams of fat. I love this recipe and it has all the flavor of the original. It's high in fiber and protein. Each serving size of this soup is ~13-15 ounces. If you only eat 1 cup of soup as your seving the nutritional info is 140 calories and 4.7g of fat.

I love grilled corn on the cob and this butter is delicious

This is a Whole Foods Market recipe I found recently. This particular version includes my modifications. I like to eat this with a greek seasoned grilled chicken breast or a grilled chicken breast marinated in balsamic vinegairette.

This has fantasic flavor, easy to prepare and can be served as a side or over some whole weat pasta.

Great on Pasta

Yummy!

A very slight variation of Wolfgang Puck, 2004 recipe.
I was looking for something new to try with my summer tomato abundance & this was a winner! Entered into SP for the nutritionals & thought I would share. ;-)

Adapted from the Dove's Nest's version. Not like any tomato soup you'll ever have!

For those adhering to a raw diet, this sauce adds lots of flavor to sliced zucchini's.

Best when made with fresh tomatoes! This recipe makes two large servings, but can be split easily by three people.

Archer Farms

This is best served with whole wheat fettucini. Goes well with chicken or salmon. Or simply serve as is for a meatless meal that is quite filling. Add a side of steamed broccoli and mushrooms and serve strawberries topped with whipped cream for desert.

My husbands favorite new burgers! So delicious, no one will know they are good for you!

I serve this with 1/2 cup of rice or pasta with basil pesto .
Makes 4 servings of 1 breast each.

Low-fat, low-carb and high in protein.

This mousse takes only 15 minutes to prepare and can easily be made in advance. It's a perfect light dessert to top off a rich meal.

A great way to use up the summer surplus of tomatoes. Don't try this with less than stellar tomatoes. The homegrown tomato flavor is super important in this dish. As is the fresh basil. This recipe is adapted from a number of places (Ina Garten, Smitten Kitchen, Oh She Glows) but I made it my own.

AMAZING

Great summer pizza!
