Today's menu- Basil Parmesan dip

There are a lot of people that grow their own basil.  I have been trying but with the wind where I live I don't have much luck.  I do love it so I buy it at the store whenever I can.  This is a great spring or summer dip to serve at your outdoor BBQ' or cocktail parties.

You will need:

1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt ( I use Kosher)
1 cup fresh Basil leaves
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup reduced fat sour cream
2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.  I like this served with pita chips and carrots.  This will keep in the fridge for about 2 days.
