Delicious! I really enjoyed this! I halved the recipe, and will be making this again! Had it over greens and tomato. Thanks so much Juenessa! Made for Adopt a Tag. -
Very Good, use it over Burgers as a dressing. Made for PAC spring 07 -
What a wonderfully tasty dressing. I love the flavor of basil and the creaminess of the mayonnaise. I served it over sliced tomatoes and onions. A definite keeper.
