Keep those beloved bluebs and basil together. Separating them would be like breaking up the band, and you don’t want to do that. I mean…what are the Barenaked Ladies without Steven Page? A big, fat nothing, I tell ya!
The coconut yogurt (coyo) is what renders the creamiest of textures here. And if you have an instant pot, be sure to check out Flame to Fork’s method for making coyo. Alternatively, you can use the oven method as outlined in The Paleo Approach Cookbook, pages 118-119.
Drizzle, dunk, or dip: this Blueberry-Basil Dressing has got you covered.
