Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 to 2 cloves garlic
Salt
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 tablespoon fresh chives
3 fresh basil leaves
1 cup (real) mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup grated Parmesan

2 iceberg heads, cut into chunks
1/2 cup grated Cheddar
2 carrots, shredded
1 cucumber, sliced

Steps:

  • For the dressing: Mince the garlic with a knife and then sprinkle about 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of salt on it and mash it into a paste with a fork. Chop the parsley, chives and basil very finely and add to the garlic.
  • In a bowl, combine the garlic mixture, mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan, cayenne, paprika and Worcestershire, tasting frequently and adjusting the seasonings as needed. Chill for a couple of hours before serving. Thin with a little milk before using if desired.
