Mixed Herb Pesto
This Mixed Herb Pesto blends fresh herbs including chives, basil, parsley, and coriander with pine nuts, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. The result is a vibrant, herbaceous sauce with a rich but balanced texture, achieved by slowly incorporating olive oil to create a smooth consistency. The pesto offers a fresh, slightly nutty flavor and can enhance pasta, breads, or vegetables with its bright herbal notes.

Notes
- Use leafy fresh herbs instead of woody ones to maintain a bright pesto flavor.
- Replace Parmesan with less nutritional yeast to make the pesto vegan, as nutritional yeast has a stronger taste.
- Stir the pesto through fresh pasta for an easy weeknight meal.
