The Old Spaghetti Factory’s Creamy Pesto Salad Dressing Copycat
This rich and creamy dried basil Pesto Salad Dressing tastes just like the Old Spaghetti Factory's! It's perfect over a simple crisp green salad. It only takes minutes to make and calls for a few simple ingredients!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (full fat)
- 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1 Tbsp dried basil*
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/4 cup freshly, finely grated Parmesan cheese**
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until well blended.
- Pour into an airtight container and refrigerate 30 minutes. Serve over green salad.
Notes
- *Don't use stale dried basil (as in one that has been sitting in the cupboard for a year or two). A fresher pack is best. This is also delicious with fresh basil, 1/3 cup finely chopped.
- **I use the the pokey side of a box grater to get the fine grate. Just be careful. Also store bought grated parmesan such as Kraft can be used as well when in a rush.
