- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice

- To prepare tomatoes, combine all ingredients, toss gently, and set aside.
- To prepare chicken salad, combine artichokes, chicken, garlic and salt in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add mayonnaise and lemon juice and pulse until blended. Add basil and pulse until incorporated. The mixture should be creamy yet still a bit chunky.
