Basil Green Goddess Salad Dressing
Recipe slightly adapted from Ina Garten, Barefoot Contessa
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 cup good mayonnaise
- 1 cup chopped scallions, white and green parts (6 to 7 scallions)
- 1 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
- 2 teaspoons chopped garlic (2 cloves)
- 2 teaspoons anchovy paste (I found this in a tube stocked with the other canned fish-type products: ie, tuna, clams, oysters.)
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt (I used sea salt)
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup sour cream
Instructions
- 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.)
- When serving, the dressing may be poured on top of the salad or served separately to meet each guests personal preference.
