1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon sherry, optional
1 clove garlic, minced
FOR THE GREEN SAUCE:
(Double this sauce if you wish to have lots of dressing - also it keeps well and can be used on other salads)

1 to 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup fresh basil, tightly packed (or 2 tsp dried basil)
3/4 cup parsley, chopped
1 to 3 clove garlic, minced
