Pesto Caesar Salad Dressing
Pesto Caesar dressing is a creamy, savory blend of classic Caesar and fresh basil pesto ~ perfect for salads, wraps, grilled chicken, and vegetables.
Servings: 1 cup
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 very lightly packed cup fresh basil leaves
- 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1 tsp anchovy paste, or 1-2 fillets
- 1 tsp creamy Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 –3 Tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Load your processor with the dressing ingredients. Push the basil leaves down to fit.
- Process the dressing, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Keep processing until the dressing takes on a pale green color. There will still be tiny visible flecks of basil.
- Give it a taste to adjust anything to your liking. Refridgerate right away.
- Toss your salad with the dressing just before serving.
- Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last up to 4 days. I don't recommend freezing.
