Creamy Basil Dressing

1/4 cup all-natural pesto (i.e., basil, olive oil, garlic and salt)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon all-natural mayonnaise [Such as Veganaise]
1-2 tablespoons plain rice/soy milk
1 clove of garlic

[Author's Note 2009: Most brands of rice milk, even the "plain" varieties, are fortified. Since I developed this recipe, I've learned that the vitamins added to food and beverage are corn-based. I now exclusively use plain soy milk -- the only ingredients are filtered water and whole soybeans. Choose an organic variety to avoid consuming genetically modified soy.]

Combine all ingredients in small blender jar or handy chopper/food processor. Toss with lettuce greens and toasted, salted sunflower seeds.
