Im trying to lose the salt (due to high blood pressure) and use herbs for flavor, but what type of meals can Basil add flavor to?

Pesto is a Fresh Basil Sauce
I also use alot in my Pasta Sauces.
Stir-fry veggies with extra basil ~ yummy.
If you can eat cheese. Fresh Mozzeralla sliced & layers with fresh Basil & chopped tomaotes drizzled with olive oil.

Basil is one of those yummy herbs that goes great with almost everything IMO. If you like it, use it on whatever you make that you think it would taste good with. Trial and error. You might not like it on anything but it won't hurt to try.

Slices of mozzarella cheese, slice of tomato on top and fresh basil torn up, black pepper and drizzle of olive oil. I also put basil in tomato based pasta dishes.

not basil...but when I was on a salt restricted diet I learned a lot about east indian cooking...curries and stuff...you often can just omit the salt because there are so many other flavours going on.

Oh my gosh! Tuna! Pull out a can of tuna, add some OLIVE OIL...no mayonnaise, and chop up some basil. Your taste buds will thank me. It is so delish!

Make pesto with it (olive oil, crushed garlic, chopped pine nuts) and add to pasta.
