Sulphur Creek’s Amazing Salads and Artichoke Heart Pesto Ranch Dressing

This dressing happened by accident when Kiere put blue cheese dressing into an empty artichoke heart jar. One of the guests told her how much she loved the “artichoke ranch dressing”! This gave Kiere the clever idea to make exactly that – Artichoke Heart Pesto Ranch Dressing

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
  • 6 marinated artichoke hearts
  • 1-2 cloves garlic
  • 2 ounces olive oil extra virgin
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Instructions

  • Dry toast pine nuts in a skillet. Set aside. Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until desired consistency, whether you like a smoother or chunkier pesto. Mix one part pesto to 3 parts of your favorite ranch dressing. We love the yogurt ranch dressings, but anyone you love will work great for this dressing!
