What a nice change for a pasta salad. I used a stick blender and got great creamy results for my dressing. I substituted cilantro for the basil, lovely flavor profile.Reply

Made this last night....excellent! I would suggest you purée the garlic with oil and water...then add the s/p and vegies....my blender left me with large chunks of garlic. I also suggest small garlic cloves unless you love garlic..had a bit leftover and squeezed lemon on it with more salt....a keeper!! Thanks for sharing...Reply -
