Creamy Tomato DRESSING

My mother can walk into any kitchen and make a salad dressing without any help, in fact she would prefer it if you did not get in the way.  She is always using ingredients that I would have never thought to put into a dressing and every time it is the best.  This is one of those recipes that takes what you have on hand and makes it into a dressing worthy of putting on anything, including lettuce.

Makes about 2 cups

1 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes (if you use big tomatoes squeeze out the juice first)

½ cup mayonnaise

¼ cup fresh basil leaves

1 clove garlic

1 Tablespoon of fresh lemon juice

Puree tomatoes, mayo, basil garlic and lemon in a food processor to desired consistency.  Salt and pepper to taste.  If the consistency is too thick put in a splash of milk.
