I could literally drink this salad dressing. It is not difficult and is so much yummier than any pre-made dressing you come across. PLEASE give it a try! Recipe from CovCom Cooks!
1/2 cup basil pesto**
1 shallot, roughly chopped
1 cup Aioli (see NOTE)
1 cup buttermilk
Fresh lemon to taste
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Method:
Whisk all ingredients together and refrigerate. The longer it sits, the thicker it will become.
** You can make your own pesto by blending 8 cups packed basil leaves, 1 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts, 2-4 garlic cloves, and 1/2 tsp salt in the food processor until smooth. At the end, stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
NOTE: For Aioli, combine 1-2 finely minced garlic cloves, 1/3 cup olive oil, and 1/2 cup mayonnaise. Whisk together and set aside.
Happy Cooking!
