Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup real mayonnaise
  • 1 cup chopped green onions white and green parts
  • 1.5 cups roughly chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (1 large lemon)  start with less if you like and taste
  • 1-2 tsp chopped garlic  (2 cloves)
  • 1 tsp  anchovy paste
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cuyp thick sour cream

Method
 

  1. Place the mayonnaise, scallions, basil, lemon juice, garlic, anchovy paste, salt and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the sour cream and process just until blended. (If not using immediately, refrigerate the dressing until ready to serve.)Cut each head of lettuce into quarters, remove some of the cores, and arrange on 6 salad plates. Cut the tomatoes into wedges and add to the plates. Pour on the dressing and serve.

Notes

Note: I served this dressing with butter lettuce, avocado, and shrimp – yum!!
It is also delicious with extra sour cream stirred in and used as a dip for large shrimp.
