Pesto Vinaigrette


One of our favorite restaurants serves a chef salad with pesto vinaigrette.  The dressing makes the meal for me.  I had to create it at home to give our salads the same boost of flavor.  The pesto is a quick and no-prep way to add so many flavors - basil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts.  The great thing is you can whisk it up in literally a minute or two. 

Ingredients

2 heaping tablespoons basil pesto
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 heaping tablespoon dijon mustard
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
6 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Directions
  • Whisk all ingredients until well blended
  • Serve or refrigerate until ready to use
