Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender. Pulse until smooth. Serve immediately or cover and store chilled.
Notes
- Yields about 1 cup of pesto.
- If you want to be conservative on the salt, start with 1/4 teaspoon. Taste and add more as desired.
- Additional lemon juice can be added for a more "lemony" flavored pesto - so good!
