The easiest and delicious pesto, that goes with everything with a fresh, spring flavor. Unlike some pestos this pesto is not oily. We slathered this on savory waffles (see pic below), with scrambled eggs, grilled cheese, veggie burgers, salad, and basically by the spoonful.
The food processor makes this super fast and easy. Since this was so delicious, I am brainstorming other pesto combinations to try.
