Creamy and smoothly flavorful salad dressing. So delicious over a bed of romaine with crotons topping it off. Caesar and Creamy Italian are both good with different flavor profiles, this dressing fits right into that rank and can well hold its own. I made it as stated in the recipe and have also used the pre made jarred Basil Pesto purchased from the store and each work equally well. I served it along side a bowl of Minestrone soup and Irish Soda Bread.
