I decided to try one of my 52 new recipes out on my friends, so I invited a few over for an end-of-summer dinner party last night! I thought the strawberry, basil, and avocado salsa would be healthy and bright, and screamed summer. I didn't want the recipe to ruin dinner if it didn't pan out, so I paired it with baked chicken, and a few standard sides. But fear not, it was delicious!

This one was easy, but I'd recommend waiting until right before dinner to prepare it so the avocado doesn't brown and the basil doesn't wilt. Very fresh though, and would be good as a salsa at picnics and brunches.
Potatoes & Zucchini
We had a few different food preferences and diets at this dinner, so I went for something easy and minimal for the side dish - roasted potatoes and baked squash. Easy and crowd pleasers.
Strawberry Basil Bourbon Smash

I wanted to use the extra basil somehow, so I looked up recipes for a cocktail to make. I found this bourbon based cocktail, which incorporates the basil and strawberries. I liked that it went with our summer theme and added colorful flair to the table.
