Cook's Tips:
Gently wash fresh basil leaves just before using and pat dry with a paper towel. If you have extra basil, wrap leaves in a slightly damp paper towel, place in a resealable plastic bag, and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Use as a garnish or as a flavor booster for soups, sauces, salads or salad dressing.
For a quick way to snip fresh herbs without the mess, place the herb in a small, deep bowl and snip with Professional Shears.
If desired, 2 teaspoons dried basil leaves can be substituted for the fresh basil.
