Loved the dressing. Will be making it again and again. One has to really like basil and balsamic vinegar, otherwise one may not like it. Thanks.

I bought and italian mix in the grocery store and added boston lettuce as the greens. Huge hit at the dinner table. This dressing is amazing and the peppers worked really well with everything. Loved it!

Great salad! I added a few ingredients though. I added chopped fennel, fresh mozzarella balls, pine nuts, and freshly grated parmesan cheese to the salad. I also added minced garlic and parmesan cheese to the dressing. Really yummy!

This was pretty good. I added garlic. Next time I will cut the oil and lemon juice in half and double the amount of basil.

Super easy, beautiful served in a large flat bowl and delicious. Nice light complement to a pasta dinner! Will serve frequently.

I didn't care for this at all. Even after adjusting the oil/vinegar ratio to a more pleasant 3:1 oil to vinegar, this was acrid, flat and tasted of little else than the basil.

This is a really good salad! For additional flavor, consider adding some grated Italian cheeses (like Parmigiano-Reggiano and/or Asiago) plus thin red onion slices, and a bit of sweetness (I used agave syrup). The quality of the balsamic vinegar makes a huge difference.

Pretty good salad! The only change I made was to just use a bag of mixed spring greens instead of buying all of the greens separately. When making the dressing, I really had to stop myself from adding in some garlic. It was good as written, but next time I might go with my gut and throw some in, but that is just a personal preference. Thank you for sharing!

Guests loved it so much that they asked for the recipe. Using grape-seed oil in the dressing makes it flavorful, but light enough not to overpower the veggies.
