¼ cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
Ingredient note
Herbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of basil used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid basil, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp honey
½ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ground ginger
1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
