I created this basil salad with spinach, tomatoes, and other fresh veggies from my garden that needed to be used up. It is so good, and because it makes its own dressing, it's also very light. The flavor is best when left in the fridge overnight.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil
- 1 pound campari tomatoes , seeded and minced
- 2 large seedless cucumbers , peeled and minced
- 1 large red onion , minced
- 3 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 teaspoon salt , or to taste
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper , or to taste
Instructions
-
1
Process spinach and basil in a food processor until finely chopped.
-
2
Toss together spinach mixture, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl with an airtight lid. Cover the bowl and refrigerate salad, 8 hours to overnight.

Avocado Watermelon Salad
This avocado watermelon salad recipe is very healthy yet delightfully different. Adding small slices of red onion could be a flavorful addition.
Sous Vide "Poached" Eggs
These sous vide eggs have a perfectly set white with a runny yolk. Poached eggs are normally cooked directly in simmering water, but that can be tricky and lead to rubbery, messy eggs. I have tried different variations of times and temps, and this is the best method I have found. Fresh eggs have tighter whites and produce the best results.
