This balsamic pesto vinaigrette salad dressing recipe is a bright and fresh sauce made with basil, garlic, greens, and balsamic vinegar! This pesto with balsamic vinegar is great to toss with fresh pasta, top on garlic bread, or just stir into a soup or risotto.
In a food processor or blender, add all ingredients and pulse on low to combine pesto until it forms a thick dressing. If the pesto becomes too thick, add an additional tablespoon of olive oil to loosen it up. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt if needed.
Enjoy pesto tossed into pasta, on pizzas, or spread thick on garlic bread!
