Spinach and Basil Pesto

We love pesto!!

I love all kinds of pesto – we all do! Traditional basil pesto is yummy, but I also love this version that has a good amount of spinach in it! You get the basil taste along with all the super-food qualities of spinach!

This Arugula and Walnut Pesto is very good too! I especially like to make this one in the winter months, when I don’t have basil growing on my deck.

I love pesto on just about anything!

Spinach & Basil Pesto is delicious with:

• Classic Ham & Bean Soup!
• Grilled Pork Tenderloin and Juicy Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches
• Our Favorite Chicken Marinade – Grilled Chicken
