Delicious! I did cut the amount of kosher salt in half and it was, for me, the perfect amount. Any more and it would have been too salty. This is definitely a keeper recipe.

YES! I will never buy bottle ranch again because this is WAY better!I added dill along with the basil, and used meyer lemons. Regarding all the salt talk, I used a 1/2 teaspoon or less of kosher and it was fine. This would be a great dip for a veggie platter. Both my kids ate their entire salad with dinner tonight......I swear it's this dressing! Ha!
