Little Leaf Farms - dipping dressingLemon Pesto Dipping Dressing

This zesty dressing combines yogurt, lemon juice and pesto, one of the season’s standouts, for a dip that’s both bright and creamy. You can use store-bought pesto (if your basil didn’t do so well this year – it happens!) and just add salt and pepper to taste. Get the recipe here…

Add this dressing to your repertoire and bust it out when you’re looking for something with a silky smooth texture and slightly nutty flavor.

Just toss everything in a food processor and whip it all together (it’s ok if the texture is a little runny) for a creamy dip with an extra bit of herb-y zip. Get the recipe here…
