Instructions

The process: wash the basil (cress) and use a salad spinner or clean towel to get the water off. Slice the onions and tomato as thin as you can by hand and set aside. If you have a Kyocera hand slicer (remember mine is named Danton) use it to very thinly slice the radishes or use the mandoline (Robespierre).

*If I ever hear any of you use the term EVOO you will be permanently off the recipe list. Why? Because even though Rachael Ray has her own labled brand she doesnt even know what it Extra Virgin means. And Im flat out serious. The world must be saved from this evil woman.

Lets get started! Myself, I like to use a Spanish style oil made from arbequina olives. There are now several Californial brands.
