I made this to serve alongside steaks and green salad and it was perfect - no need for additional salad dressing. I used a punnet of ripe cherry tomatoes. - 09 May 2011
I used basil oil instead of fresh basil as i didn't have any handy. Will def make again and use fresh basil next time. Still tasted great with leftover roast beef. Thanks SamanthaSupper - 09 May 2011
