Basil oil is an easy way to add a touch of flavor to a multitude of dishes! Drizzle it on salads, over avocados, on top of tomatoes, use to dip gluten-free bread, or on top of my amazing “creamy” tomato soup recipe. Always choose fresh basil, in any variety you like. Try lemon basil for an interesting twist on the traditional basil flavor!
This fragrant oil pairs beautifully with the “creamy” tomato soup. Try it on salads or over avocado!
