Awhile ago, I ran across a basil vinaigrette salad dressing recipe on the Graff family website. \u00a0I made it, loved it, and bookmarked it! \u00a0So how sad was I when I had a glut of basil the other day and went to the link I bookmarked, only to discover that the site is not up any longer??? \u00a0I tried my best to find an alternative recipe<\/a> (from Food & Wine magazine, even!), only to find that the recipe was a poor version of what I remembered. \u00a0So, I put on my detective hat and tracked down the owner of the website via Who Is<\/a> and emailed the contact name they had for the website, crossing my fingers that the email address was still valid!<\/p>\n

So how excited was I when it was not only valid, but got a response from Victoria Gray with the salad dressing, which she writes comes from the Rebar: Modern Food Cookbook<\/a>. \u00a0The dressing is delicious (assuming you like basil), although slightly concerning in its bright green, gloopy appearance. \u00a0Give it a try!<\/p>\n
