Salad With Pesto Dressing in 5 Minutes

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.
