3/4 cup oil
1 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 Tbs. grated Romano cheese

1/2 tsp. salt
1 clove garlic, minced
Hot pepper sauce

Whisk together oil and mayonnaise. Add buttermilk, cheese, basil,
salt, garlic and hot pepper sauce to taste. Mix thoroughly. Cover
and let flavors melt overnight in refrigerator. This also will make
an excellent chicken marinade.

table. Then diners can add or omit it as desired to individual taste.
1/4 tsp. paprika may be added to dressing if desired.
