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.
Basil Dip
Ingredients
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup fresh basil
- 1 cup light mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
In a food processor, blend all of the ingredients until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
