Good recipe! I was looking for a recipe to use more of my basil. I did substitute a couple of items from the recipe. I used a 1/2 cup of Miracle Whip & a 1/2 cup of sour cream instead of Mayo. I didn't have any ranch dressing, so used Honey Dijon salad dressing instead & also still used a small amount of mustard. I also pulled a few spring onions from the garden & chopped both the white & greens from about 5-6. This is a keeper!
