Spaghetti Factory Pesto Salad dressing Copy Cat image

This is a marvelous, creamy dressing... if you are lucky enough to live where there is a Spaghetti Factory restaurant, you probably had this "house dressing". I love to make this copy at home.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 c canola or vegetable oil
1 c mayonnaise (not salad dressing)- you may use "fat reduced"
3/4 c butermilk
3 Tbsp freshly grated parmesan or romano cheese
2 Tbsp crushed, dried basil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground white or black pepper
1 clove fresh garlic, finely minced
3 dash(es) hot pepper sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Whisk together the oil and the mayonnaise to blend well.
  • 2. Add buttermilk, grated cheese, basil, salt, pepper, hot sauce, and garlic to blend thoroughly.
  • 3. Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to blend.
  • 4. Serve over your favorite tossed salad greens (I like a combo of Romaine lettuce, grated carrots, thinly sliced red cabbage, and halved cherry tomatoes). Mangia!
