Looking for salad dressings?
Outside of this recipe, here are a few of our very favorite salad dressing recipes: Turns out, this emerald green sauce adds the perfect boost to salads. Our version is a healthy salad dressing that has less calories than the typical dressing, but is creamy and addicting. It’s kind of like a ranch dressing, but with pesto. How can you go wrong with that? With all the flavor going on in this dressing, it weighs in at 48 calories per tablespoon! The other great thing about pesto salad dressing is that it takes just a few minutes to mix up. If you have the pesto on hand already (which we hope you do!), it takes 5 minutes. Here’s what to do:
In a small bowl, mix together plain yogurt, mayonnaise, pesto, red wine vinegar, and salt. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until serving!
Making pesto is perfect in the summer when you have access to lots of fresh basil, either in your garden or at the farmers market. If you’re thinking about growing basil, we have a tutorial for growing it at home: How to Grow Basil. Once you’ve located some basil, all you need is a handful of other ingredients and a food processor. Make our favorite Basil Pesto, or try Cashew Pesto, Walnut Pesto, or Vegan Pesto.
