Create a quick and simple dressing for your spring and summer salads by combining pesto olive oil with a little bit of balsamic vinegar. No need to add garlic or herbs–it’s already in the pesto EVOO! This olive oil works particularly well with Caprese salad and Panzanella salad, although we encourage you to let your imagination run wild!
For a twist, try our Spring Pesto Panzanella Salad, which has asparagus, snap peas, and fresh mozzarella in the mix.
Need a fast and easy summer side dish? Simply toss mixed seasonal vegetables like tomatoes, eggplant, and zucchini in some pesto EVOO and salt and roast until tender.
Pesto is a fantastic way to fancify your sandwiches. Toast your bread with a little bit of Pesto EVOO, or simply drizzle some pesto oil in the middle before serving. One of our favorite pesto sandwich ideas is a Caprese-style sandwich, with mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, and arugula. You can also add fresh avocado or chicken to this combination if you’d like!
