I shared this recipe with a friend who took it camping with friends and they all want th recipe. A good way to use up my home grown basil. -
I used lowfat mayo and sour cream and it is still great. Added some extra basil and used in on a portabello mushroom. -
Good dressing! I halved the recipe and made it in my mini-prep. I forgot to use only half of the garlic clove. Didn't think too much garlic would be a problem anyway, because I love garlic. Even so, I thought it distracted from the wonderful flavors of all the fresh herbs. This dressing is thick enough to use as a dip. Blanched broccoli and asparagus, cherry tomatoes would be my choice of dippers. For this dressing, Bibb lettuce gets my vote. Thanks, dancer^. -
This dressing seemed too thick and heavy for a salad. Would make a great dip though. I'll try it on some garden grown tomatoes tomorrow.
