Instructions

  1. Place the mayonnaise, sour cream, pesto, salt, pepper, lemon juice and garlic in a medium bowl.
  2. Stir until well combined.
  3. Use immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  4. Before serving, garnish if desired with a swirl of pesto, diced tomatoes, basil leaves and pine nuts.
  5. Serve with assorted breads, crackers and vegetables as desired.

Notes

  • This recipe will work with both homemade or store bought pesto. I typically use the pesto found in tubs in the refrigerator section of the grocery store. I find that the fresh pesto tastes better than shelf stable pesto.
  • You can use low fat versions of mayonnaise and sour cream if you're looking for a healthier option.
