Serve this incredibly flavorful anti-inflammatory potato salad as part of any summer meal. It pairs well with grilled chicken, fish, or steaks! Fresh basil is a concentrated source of numerous bioactive compounds that have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Red potatoes are an antioxidant powerhouse and they're also high in potassium. These foods work synergistically in the body to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.

Preparation Note

Place the cashews in a bowl of water and allow them to soak for 3 to 6 hours on your counter. Then drain through a fine mesh strainer.
