Creamy Pesto Dressing




Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup grated Romano cheese
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons prepared pesto
  • 2-4 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic

If you happen to have left overs, this will last a couple of days in the refrigerator. I found that it does get pretty thick when you refrigerate it so I take it out of the fridge about 10 minutes before I want to use it.

Creamy Avocado Ranch Dressing




Ingredients:
  • 1 avocado, pitted and removed from skin
  • 1 tablespoon dried dill
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 - 1 1/3 cup buttermilk
Instructions:
  1. Combine first six ingredients and 1 cup of buttermilk together in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. If you would like the dressing a little thinner add remaining buttermilk and pulse a few more times. Chill for 30 minutes. Serve.
  2. Store any left overs in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within a few days.
