1 tbspwhite vinegar or white wine vinegar
1 clovegarlic clove, finely minced
kosher salt

Instructions

Combine the mayonnaise, pesto, vinegar, and minced garlic in a medium bowl. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth and the pesto is evenly distributed — you shouldn't see any streaks. Taste and season with salt and pepper, starting with a pinch of each and adjusting from there. The pesto already brings salt, so go easy at first.
