1/2 c. fresh lightly chopped fresh basil
1/4 c. pecans or walnuts chopped
1 T. white wine vinegar...cider v. works too
1 T. sour cream....helps to keep freshness
1/4 t. each garlic salt and onion salt
fresh ground pepper to taste
1/4t. cayenne pepper
2 fresh cloves garlic minced

Process and chill at least 1 hour before serving.  Serve on crackers or french bread rounds with a slice of tomato or halved cherry tomatoes.  The tomatoes really make this as does the fresh garlic!  EnjoyOn Dec 20, 2010, at 4:04 PM.
