Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (125g) vegan basil pesto
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp (5g) Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp (0.5g) cracked black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Add the basil pesto, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard into a mason jar or mixing bowl. Stir briefly to combine the thick pesto with the acidic components.
  2. Slowly pour in the extra virgin olive oil. If using a jar, seal the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 30 seconds; if using a bowl, whisk rapidly in a circular motion until the mixture transforms into a cohesive, velvety liquid.
  3. Stir in the salt and black pepper. Taste the dressing and adjust: add another teaspoon of olive oil if too sharp, or a squeeze of fresh lemon if more brightness is needed.
