Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until well blended.
Pour into an airtight container and refrigerate 30 minutes. Serve over green salad.

Notes

*Don't use stale dried basil (as in one that has been sitting in the cupboard for a year or two). A fresher pack is best. This is also delicious with fresh basil, 1/3 cup finely chopped.
**I use the the pokey side of a box grater to get the fine grate. Just be careful. Also store bought grated parmesan such as Kraft can be used as well when in a rush.
