Cherry Tomatoes and Green Peas with Basil Dressing

Ingredients

• 1 basket fresh cherry tomatoes
• 2 cups fresh green peas
• 2-3 cloves garlic
• 3-4 fresh basil leaves
• 3/4 cup good quality mayonnaise
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon honey or sugar
• freshly ground peppercorns
• 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon semi-coarse sea salt, as desired
• 1/2 cup good quality vegetable or beef broth, cold
• lettuce leaves, as desired

Instructions

1. If necessary slice the tomatoes but if they are small enough, leave them as they are. Cook the peas if you insist, but they are so wonderfully crisp and sweet eaten raw. Place tomatoes and peas in a bowl and set aside.
2. In food processor with steel chopping blade in place, have motor running and drop in the garlic cloves and then the basil leaves to thoroughly chop finely. Add mayonnaise, Worcestershire, green onions, mustard, honey, pepper and salt. Blend. With motor running, slowly drizzle in the cold broth.
3. Serve with the tomatoes and peas, adding as much of the dressing as you desire and serve with lettuce.
