Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups Fresh basil leaves, packed
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup mayonnaise or half thick (Greek) yogurt and half mayo
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
2-3 pounds fresh tomatoes (variety of cherry tomatoes works well)
2 avocados
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • Make dressing. Blend basil, buttermilk, green onions, salt, mayo/yogurt and pepper in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and let stand 30 minutes to thicken. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Wash cherry tomatoes and slice in half. If using large tomatoes, cut in wedges.
  • Peel avocado and cut into chunks. Sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • Arrange tomatoes and avocados on platter and drizzle with dressing or simply toss tomatoes and avocado with dressing (you probably won't need all of the dressing).
  • Sprinkle with pine nuts and garnish with a few basil sprigs (if desired).
  • Serve with extra dressing on the side.
