Have a bounty of basil from the garden? Add some to this salad for a new taste in an old favorite at summertime picnics.
Ingredients
SERVINGS: 6 Serving(s)
- 1 pound small yellow potatoes, quartered
- 1 bunch basil
- 2 lemons
- 1/2 pound bacon
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
Heat oven to 400°. Lay pieces of bacon flat on a nonstick pan and bake, periodically draining off the fat. When bacon is crispy, place on a paper towel and cool, then break into bite-size pieces.
Boil potatoes and strain. Let sit until dry. Take basil leaves and thinly slice them with a sharp knife, cutting them without bruising them. Juice the lemons and add the basil. Then add both to the mayonnaise. Use a fork to whisk in other spices until blended. Pour the mixture over the dry potatoes, add the bacon and mix. Season to taste.
