Way too much vinegar and acid for my likes.

I made this for friends at a get together this weekend, and yes, I used the optional basil, about 1/4 cup. Delicious!! As for the bunches of green onion and cilantro, I used small bunches. I would say 4-5 small green onions or so. I bought some crusty french bread, and tore it into pieces, and our guests dipped and spooned their way into it. It was a great, flavourful appetizer, and very easy to make. Thanks for posting!!
