Ingredients

• 1 loosely packed cup of fresh basil leaves removed from stem
• 3 tablespoons pine nuts
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 whole clove of fresh garlic
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients in a small food processor or mini chopper. Process until all ingredients are blended together. Leftover pesto can be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to one week. In addition to the salad above, pesto can also be used as a pasta sauce or topping for crackers (with or without a slice of cheese).
