Here’s a perfect Summertime dip. It’s light and airy and doesn’t have that heavy taste of French Onion Dip or Ranch dressing. You can use it for crackers, veggies, chips,  with shrimp or scallops, or as a condiment for sandwiches! For me, it was a great way to use up some basil. I’ve had an abundance this season! Next time, I think I’ll try using yogurt, rather than mayonnaise.
