Balsamic-Pesto Dressing

Add to favorites
Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. I made this dressing to mimic what you’d get in a large steakhouse. Yum!
Serves: Serves 2
Ingredients:
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced (I use my rasp. Also called a microplane. Be careful, they’re really sharp! For this dish you definitely want fresh garlic, not jar garlic.
- 1 cup of fresh basil leaves
- approx 1/4 cup – 1/3 cup of balsamic vinegar (start with 1/4 and see if you want it runnier)
- 1 tsp of Truvia or to taste
- Salt and pepper
Instructions:
Put the garlic, basil, vinegar and Truvia in a small food processor or blender. Blend until the basil is a fine mince. Taste and adjust seasoning and add your salt and pepper if you want it.
The thicker dressing works for salads like a tomato and onion salad. You won’t need more than a tsp of dressing. If you want to serve this on greens as a regular salad you can add water and shake. Add as much water as will get it to the consistency you like.
This dressing will keep in the refrigerator in a closed container for about a week. Just shake or re-blend before using.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
