Creamy Mixed Nut Dressing

A dollop of this thick and luscious dressing, chilled and bursting with satisfying richness, atop a sliced tomato, makes the perfect warm weather starter. Cafe Drake also likes it with steamed vegetables . . . any excuse really to add calories to an otherwise weight-conscious dish. So why not serve on the side with fruit salad?

1/4 cup mixed nuts (walnuts and pecans work esp. well) / 4 T. mayonnaise / 1 T. heavy cream / 1 t. lemon juice

Combine all ingredients in blender and process till smooth. Chill slightly before serving.
