Creamy Basil-Balsamic Dressing

Creamy Basil-Balsamic Dressing is bright, herbaceous, and lusciously smooth, blending the sweet tang of balsamic vinegar with the freshness of just-picked basil. Greek yogurt or kefir gives it a velvety texture and gentle tang, while olive oil adds depth and richness.

Drizzle over leafy greens, zucchini ribbons, or roasted vegetables; spoon onto grilled chicken or fish; toss with pasta for a quick cold salad; or serve as a dipping sauce with crusty bread and fresh vegetables.
