1
Prepare the Pistachios
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the Sicilian pistachios for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they become fragrant and slightly golden. Remove from heat and let them cool.
2
Blend the Ingredients
In a food processor, combine the toasted pistachios, extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the processor to ensure everything is well combined.
3
Adjust Seasoning
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.
4
Finish and Serve
Stir in the chopped fresh basil leaves. Serve the dressing immediately over your favorite salads, grilled vegetables, or use it as a dip for bread.
