Pesto-Mayo Salad Dressing

The vegetables husband Ron grows in his new veggie garden include an old favorite: Basil, basil, basil everywhere! He grows it in large pots in a hidden corner of the garden that gets lots of sun. Easily and inexpensively grown from seed, basil is a staple in many of our favorite recipes - especially Ron’s step-by-step pesto-making lessons headed Pesto Italiano.

Today, there’s a new kid on the block! Truly delicious, this easy salad dressing is just in time for warm-weather salad season.

Pesto-Mayo Salad Dressing:

3 tbsp. (45 mL) mayonnaise

2 tsp. (10 mL) Dijon-style mustard

4 tsp. (20 mL) apple cider vinegar

1/4 tsp. (1.25 mL) granulated sugar

2 tbsp. (30 mL) basil pesto

Salt and pepper, to taste

Shake together in small, lidded jar (Being the rebellious type, I stirred - didn’t shake - this dressing in an unlidded jar). Pour as needed over mixed greens for four. Done!
