Notes
- You can switch up the fruit depending on the season! Peaches and plums are great substitutions.
- The vinaigrette can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. Shake well before using if stored.
- Herb Variations: If you don’t have fresh basil or parsley, you can substitute them with other herbs like mint or cilantro for a different flavor profile. Just be mindful of the strong flavors that herbs like mint can bring.
- Great as a topping on Oven-Baked Salmon, Baked Chicken Tenders.
- Best served fresh, but can sit for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
