Ingredients
- 1 clove garlic, peeled
- 1 cup parsley, packed
- 1/2 cup tarragon, packed
- 1/2 cup fresh dill, packed
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, packed
- 1/4 cup snipped chives
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 anchovies
- 1 tsp coarse salt
- 1/3 cup olive oil, plus more as needed to loosen the pesto
Instructions
- Load your food processor with the garlic, herbs, lemon juice, anchovies, salt, and 1/3 cup olive oil. Pulse/process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl to get everything evenly incorporated.
- Taste to adjust any of the ingredients, and process in more oil if you want to thin your pesto.
- Transfer to an airtight jar, and top with a thin layer of olive oil. Cover and refrigerate. The pesto will last up to a week or more in your fridge.

Notes
- Classic Italian basil pesto contains pine nuts (or walnuts) and ages cheese. You can certainly add those if you like. I'd add 1/3 cup nuts and 1/3 cup cheese. You will probably need more olive oil to thin your pesto as well.
