1 cup Grated Asiago Cheese (or Parmesan, Pecorino Romano or Dry Jack which can substitute for the Asiago)
1/2 cup Mayonnaise (not the light or reduced calorie version)
5 tablespoons Chopped Thai Basil Leaves, divided (found in Asian stores, but if you can't find, use 5 tbsp regular basil combined with 1-2 tsp fresh mint leaves)
1/4 cup Olive Oil
3 Medium Garlic Cloves
1 tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
1/4 teaspoon Grated lime Zest
2 Thai Red Chili Peppers, minced*
Salt and Pepper to taste
*Taste after the first pepper is added and add the 2nd one or even more based on your taste buds; note that I have not asked to remove the seeds. Also if you cannot find Thai red chili pepper, use Asian hot sauce, preferably Sriracha, starting with 1/2 t
