Description

This Sweetgreen Pesto Vinaigrette is an easy to make copycat salad dressing recipe that takes just a few minutes to make. Use it to make a Hummus Crunch Salad, Chicken Pesto Parm Salad or a Caramelized Garlic Steak Salad.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/3 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
  • 2 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 1/2 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • pinch of umami seasoning*
  • 4 1/2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Add the basil leaves, apple cider vinegar, water, garlic and umami seasoning to a food processor. Blend on low until smooth. 
  2. Add in the olive oil and continue to blend on low until well combined and emulsified. 

Notes

  • Umami Seasoning: You can use Sweetgreen’s umami seasoning in this warm roasted sweet potato recipe, or you can use a storebought pre-mixed umami seasoning.
  • Storage: Store this pesto vinaigrette in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 to 7 days. 
  • Double Batch: If you have a larger food processor, it may be easier to make a double batch of this vinaigrette so the ingredients blend together more smoothly.
