Walnut Pesto
Report
Move over, traditional basil pesto, there's a new nut in town! Walnut pesto is the perfect combination of earthy, nutty goodness with just the right amount of zing. You won't want it any other way. Spread it on chicken, toss it with pasta, or even eat it by the spoonful- no judgement here!

Instructions
- Add the basil leaves into a food processor along with the walnuts, parmesan cheese, garlic cloves, lemon juice, and salt. Pulse until the ingredients are finely chopped but not quite a paste.
- Remove the lid and slowly pour half in the olive oil and pulse the ingredients together until it's mixed well. For a more liquid style pesto add the remainder olive oil and pulse again to mix.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as desired.
