Spinach Pesto
This is my spin on normal pesto. I reduced the oil and cheese, and substituted most of the basil with spinach to add a healthy twist. Jeremy and I both loved this. I will never buy prepared pesto, or use the traditional recipe again. I think I could still possibly reduce the oil by a tablespoon or two to make this dish even lighter.
-2 c spinach
-1/2 c basil
-1/2 c walnuts
-1/4 c parmesan cheese
-3 cloves garlic
-1 tsp salt
-1/2 tsp pepper
-1 Tbsp lemon juice
-4 Tbsp olive oil
Puree all ingredients in food processor. Allow pesto to sit in the fridge for at least an hour prior to using to let the flavors come together.
