Pesto dressing is a flavorful condiment originating from Italian cuisine, specifically the Liguria region. Traditionally made with fresh basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil, this vibrant green sauce boasts a rich, aromatic profile. While classic pesto contains cheese and nuts, variations may substitute or omit ingredients to suit dietary needs. Olive oil, a core component, is high in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while basil provides antioxidants and essential vitamins. Pine nuts contribute protein and healthy fats but add calories, making portion control important for those watching their intake. Pesto dressing is often used to enhance salads, pastas, proteins, and vegetables. Its bold flavor can elevate dishes while providing nutrients, but some recipes may be higher in sodium and fat due to cheese and oil. A versatile addition to meals, pesto dressing combines indulgence with nutrient-rich ingredients for a taste of Italian tradition.
