A recipe? It has been a long time but I am still in it! In fact, I have been working on several of them. This one was a spur of the moment addition that turned out fantastic and just in time for cherry season here in Georgia. It was a rice aromatic dressing that seems quite mature and delicate, not to be heaped on your salad. A little goes a long way. Sweet, tangy, and delicious!
Cherry Basil Vinaigrette
10 bing cherries (pits removed)
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 tablespoon of basil (chopped)
1/2 tablespoon of red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon of garlic (chopped)
1/4 teaspoon of sugar
1/4 teaspoon of salt
Puree all ingredients in a blender until smooth and there are no large pieces of garlic, basil or cherry. Chill for about 30 minutes and drizzle over salad.
Very original and what a beautiful color!
