Peel onions; slice them thickly, about 1/2 inch. Gently separate the slices into rings; don't discard the little center pieces.
Pour buttermilk into a large bowl; add onions. Stir to coat.
Pour several inches of oil into a pan. Heat to 350 degrees.
In a large zip lock bag, pour flour, breadcrumbs, and onion salt, and mix well.
When oil is hot, drop a few of the onion rings into the bag; toss to coat well.
Add onion rings to hot oil; fry until golden, about 2 minutes, flipping once or twice. Work in small batches to not overcrowd the pan.
Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with dip.
Dip:
Place buttermilk in a small food processor or blender; add basil leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice. Process just until the basil is well incorporated. Add the seasonings to taste.
