Ingredients:

Serving

3 tbsp lemon juice
1 1/2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1 medium garlic clove, minced
3 tbsp olive oil
3/4 cup low-fat greek yogurt, plain (to make this vegan you can use 3/4 cup soft tofu crumbled up instead)
salt

Directions:

In a food processor or blender, combine the lemon juice, basil, mustard, and garlic. Process until smooth. Then, with machine running, gradually ad oil. When oil has been completely blended in, add tofu (if making nondairy option). If using yogurt, remove the dressing from the food processor and place in small bowl and gently stir in yogurt.
Season to taste with salt. Cover and refrigerate. Stir well before each serving. The tofu version will especially thicken when chilled. Thin with a teaspoon or so of water if needed.
