CREAMY PESTO SALAD DRESSING



Creamy Pesto Salad Dressing image

I needed a salad dressing for an Italian dinner one night, and I wasn't in the mood for a vinaigrette. At our house, anything with pesto is a winner! :) This is a very thick salad dressing (especially if you use regular mayo), so you don't have to get your salad greens scrupulously dry - the excess water will loosen up the dressing.

Time 2m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 tablespoons prepared pesto sauce (Mom's Pesto, or store-bought)
2 tablespoons smooth Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (lite works well)

Steps:

  • Whisk to combine. Dress salad! :).

Dill pesto is one of my favorite ways to kick up the flavor on broiled or baked fish. It's also very good served over grilled or roasted veggies. I used a small bunch of dill.

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bunch fresh dill, chopped
1 tablespoon walnuts
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese
½ lemon, zested and juiced
1 clove garlic, peeled and quartered
⅛ teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Place dill fronds (a few stems are OK), walnuts, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes into the bowl of a food processor. If you have a mini or small food processor, it will be large enough for this recipe.
