I don’t know about you but the absolutely divine fragrance of basil makes me crazy. Basil is one of those foods that puts me in a trance, making me sway to music that only my heart and taste buds can hear. If you can't remember the last time you held a tiny bouquet of fresh basil in your hands and inhaled deeply, you should drop what you are doing right now, run to the store
and do just that. Everything about
this salad is a delight, even the preparation, from the soft crunching of the chives underneath the
pressure of the knife, that is absolutely sure to remind you of the soft
crunching of grass underneath your bare feet on a luscious summer day, to the
delicate sweetness of the honeydew.
