Spaghetti Salad with Balsamic and Basil Dressing image

This pasta mimics a Caprese salad, so if you love those flavors you'll adore this salad. With fresh tomatoes, creamy mozzarella and basil it just screams summer. We love how the pasta soaks up the tangy balsamic flavor from the dressing. This will be a great side or even a light meal on a hot summer day. For a beautiful...

MULTIPLE PERSONALITY BASIL BALSAMIC DRESSING/MARINADE/GLAZE

Multiple Personality Basil Balsamic Dressing/Marinade/Glaze image

This is my go-to dressing, glaze and marinade. I make it weekly to always have on hand. It is a most versitile dressing/marinade that is perfect for any protien or salad on your lazy BBQ day. Just marinate the day before (or the hour) or drizzle on top of field greens. My favorite is to grill up several chicken breasts with this marinade then serve the chicken over field greens with this dressing. This also works well as a glaze and keeps in the fridge for several weeks.
