Caprese salad ingredient (5)

I believe the answer is:

basil

(Other definitions for basil that I've seen before include "Doctor of the fourth century" , "Saint" , "Herb; man's name" , "Aromatic plant used as a herb" , "serially chaotic character" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the USA Today.
