Ingredientes
- Pesto Potato Salad

- 1/4 cup (2oz, 60ml) pesto
- 1/4 cup (2oz, 60ml) Greek or plain yogurt
- Pesto
- 2 cups basil, leaves only, lightly packed - meaning somewhere between crushing it into the measuring cup and dropping it in lightly
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan, to measure cut in small cubes
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 3/4 - 1 cup good olive oil - enough to get the consistency you want for the sauce
