The combination of sweet grape tomatoes and fresh, fragrant basil in a balsamic vinegar dressing will leave no one indifferent. It's incredibly easy to prepare, looks bright and colorful, and tastes luxurious. Ree Drummond also suggests flavoring the olive oil with garlic before adding it to the dressing. Simply sauté the chopped garlic in the oil, being careful not to let it brown, otherwise the oil will become bitter. Once the wonderful spicy aroma is released, the dressing is ready.

With these recipes that Ree Drummond shares from her ranch, you can create a summer menu for every day: Tomato and basil salad, Pizza with tomato salsa and Pizza with salami, Cherry-lime lemonade and for dessert – Ice cream with cookies and candies.
