    Tomato Peach Salad with Basil

    Ingredients:

    • 2 cups fresh basil leaves, plus small leaves, for garnish
    • 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • 4 ripe but firm yellow peaches, cut into wedges
    • 4 tomatoes, preferably a mix of large heirloom tomatoes, cored and cut into wedges
    • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

    Instructions:

    1. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the basil to the boiling water and cook until just wilted and bright green, about 15 seconds. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a blender and puree until smooth. With the machine running, add the olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. 
    2. Spread the basil puree on a serving platter. Arrange the peaches and tomatoes on top and sprinkle with the lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Garnish with whole basil leaves and serve.

    Everyday Greens Skillet

    Ingredients:

    • 2 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 clove garlic pressed
    • 1 medium green bell pepper cut to strips
    • 1 medium zucchini squash sliced in half medallions
    • 1 bunch kale torn in bite size pieces
    • 1 cup snap peas
    • 1/8 tsp dried thyme
    • 1/8 tsp onion powder
    • 5 leaves fresh basil
    •  salt & pepper to taste
    • 2 tsp balsamic vinegar (or Pear Cider Vinegar!)

    Instructions:

    1. Add olive oil to stove top skillet on medium-high heat. I like to use cast iron so it sears the veggies a bit during cooking.
    2. Place garlic, veggies, seasoning and basil into the skillet. Stir to combine. Cook on medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
    3. Turn heat down to medium. Add balsamic vinegar or acid of your choice. Stir and cook another 5-7 minutes or until veggies are soft yet tender.
    4. Serve hot as a side dish or as a veggie bowl.
