Divas tire of the same things over and over again. This can mean men, but it can also mean food. It certainly means jewelry. Divas adore their fresh fruits and vegetables, of course mainly in the form of Bloody Marys. Try this old recipe with a new twist.Play around with amounts here depending on how many you are serving. The garlic and the capers add zing to an old favorite. This time of year my basil is growing out of control in a kitchen pot. Be sure to take the time to let the dressing sit for a bit. It mellows the flavors nicely.
