Randomly stumbled upon this yesterday, perusing an email from our local supermarkets - it was one of their Christmas lunch ideas (potato salad with mint pesto dressing). I made a couple of minor changes (we didn't have any almonds, so used toasted pine nuts and cashews instead) and made a really tasty wee dressing. I enjoyed it as a dressing for the potatoes, but to be honest I think this will really sing as a drizzle over salmon, or perhaps BBQed asparagus or steak... Watch this space!
1/2 cup fresh mint
1/4 cup nuts
2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
good squeeze lemon juice
1/4 cup oil (I used rice bran this time)
2 tbsp aioli/potato salad dressing/mayo (thick and creamy is good)
salt and pepper, to taste
- Blitz all ingredients, except mayo, in blender until loose paste starts to form.
- Add in mayo and blitz again. Voila!
