A great dish for those long, summer evenings dining al fresco.
Mixing pesto with yoghurt makes a cool and creamy dressing which is delicious with salad or as a dip. It works really well with our Pumpkin Gnocchi too, as the slight sourness of the natural yoghurt balances the sweetness of the pumpkin and sugar snap peas.
