Savor the most iconic flavor of the season with these 7 delicious, super easy basil salad dressings that will have you craving greens and veggies all summer long!

Thought for the day:
One thing I ask from the Lord,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple. Psalm 27:4
