Creamy Pesto Dressing Recipe
Description
The Creamy Pesto Dressing Recipe blends low-fat buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, and pesto with grated Parmesan cheese to create a rich and smooth dressing. The buttermilk and sour cream provide a tangy, creamy base, while mayonnaise adds body, and pesto introduces fresh herbaceous flavor. Parmesan cheese gives a subtle umami and sharpness that enhances the overall taste.
Whisked together until uniformly combined, this dressing has a velvety texture that coats salad greens, roasted vegetables, or can be used as a dip. Chilling it before serving helps the flavors meld and thickens the dressing slightly.
The straightforward preparation involves no cooking, making it a practical choice for adding pesto flavor in a creamy format without extra steps or ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3 tbsp pesto
- 2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese grated
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk all the ingredients until well combined.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. ENJOY!
