I love basil. A lot. This is a fairly recent discovery for me, because I never liked the herby taste of cilantro, oregano, or parsley and got it into my head that all herbs would taste like grass. But gosh, basil. It’s sweet and earthy and pairs so very well with citrus, strawberries, and tomatoes. This recipe with lime and honey is an adaptation of one from one of my favorite Austin hangouts, Thai Fresh.
