Pesto, Yogurt Dressing
There’s finally enough basil to really do something with in the garden! It’s in season now so enjoy it! This went on a potato salad today. It’ld be great on pasta salad or as a dip for veggies too!
Here’s what’s in it. Feel free to wing it a little.
- A half pint plain Greek yogurt
- A big handful of fresh basil
- a couple stevia leaves (or a pinch of sugar)
- one clove garlic ( more or less if you like)
- A small handful of walnuts (pinenuts or pistachios would work too)
- About a tablespoon of red wine vinegar (or lemon juice)
- A couple tablespoons grated asiago or parmesan
- a pinch of salt
Do this
- toss walnuts, basil and stevia food processor (or chop them very finely)
- blend until finely ground
- add everything else
- blend until smooth
If you want to make my potato salad…
- cut enough potatoes into 1 inch cubes to fill about a pint
- one carrot ( I like them diced)
- half an onion (store the other half chopped up in a jar for other recipes)
- Boil potatoes until soft
- drain and cool
- mix all ingredients with enough dressing to coat them well
