Perfect Basil Sauce

I don't normally eat hamburgers, but when I saw this recipe on Ten Dollar Dinners with Melissa d'Arabian, I knew I had to try them. We love basil and bought a basil plant this summer to supply our basil needs. Well, actually, I tried growing my own basil but my niece ran over my plant with Case's 4-wheeler and now it is growing wild in our flower bed!

Anyway, make hamburgers like you normal would and then use this basil sauce on top. Delish!

Perfect Basil Sauce
  • Total Time: 5 min
  • Prep: 5 min
  • Yield: 4 servings
  • Level: Easy

  • Ingredients
    • 1 green onion, chopped
    • 3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh basil
    • 1 large clove garlic, minced
    • 1/2 cup prepared mayonnaise (I would actually use a little less than 1/2 a cup)
    • 3 tablespoons sour cream
    • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

    Directions

    Blend the green onion, basil, garlic, mayonnaise, sour cream, and Worcestershire sauce in a blender until creamy and pale green. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper, if needed.
