Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a small food processor or mini chopper. Process until all ingredients are blended together. Leftover pesto can be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to one week. In addition to capresse salad, pesto can also be used as a pasta sauce or topping for crackers (with or without a slice of cheese).
