It looks like a great recipe!
I’m growing Thai basil. Would that work instead of regular basil?
yes sure. You can switch to thai basil.
Thank you!
Is it better to eat right away or is this something I can make the night before?
As long as you keep it in an air tight container it is fine to make the night before.
Perfect. Thank You 😊 Made it for a family gathering. Fingers crossed!! 😁🤞🏻
