I loved this salad--and it's so easy. I was looking for a way to use more of my thai basil "crop" and summer tomatoes when I came across this recipe. I was surprised how refreshing it is--great in this record heatwave my area is experiencing. I served this salad with Emeril's Thai Shrimp Curry (which also calls for thai basil) and it was delicious. I have also prepared the salad using "regular" basil and it is also very good; but if you can find thai basil, the anise/licorice flavor will blow you away.
