Creamy Pesto Salad Dressing

When thinking about salad week, I was contemplating it would be yummy to have some kind of creamy pesto salad dressing. It would be great to top a Italian style salad.  As a result, this is the recipe I came up with.  

I placed it on a salad that included Italian blend salad mix. There was also chunks of mozzarella, artichoke hearts from a can, strips of salami, olives, tomatoes, and peppers.  It was delish!  If you love pesto, you will love this creamy dressing.

  1. Can’t wait to try this dressing! I picked up your card at the BYB conference this weekend. Love your blog! It’s making me hungry!

  2. Very enticing and healthy salad. The creamy dressing… Oh! I’ve ran out of words to describe it. I just want to make my own and enjoy it! Yum! =)

  3. I swear Laura, sometimes I wonder if we share the same brain! I totally had a salad week planned for this week too but moved it to next week because I had too many other blog posts I had to get shared this week! This salad dressing sounds delish! And this is perfect timing because I just made a big batch of homemade pesto yesterday!
