I love pesto. Seriously, I could put it on everything! Especially when I've got fresh basil growing in the garden :)  It's packed with flavor and good fats, which so many of our bodies are craving.  Here's a simple recipe for pesto.  Give it a try today!
 
Ingredients:


2 c. basil (loosely packed)
3 Tbsp pine nuts 
1 Tbsp walnuts 
2-4 garlic cloves 
1⁄2 fresh lemon 
1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil 



Method:

Rinse and dry basil and peel garlic cloves. Put the greens in the food processor and pulse regularly until finely chopped.  Add the garlic and nuts, and pulse some more.  Squeeze the lemon in, then drizzle the olive oil in.  
Be sure to scrape the sides down with a spatula to make sure everything is mixing evenly.  You may add more olive oil to get a thinner consistency. Scoop into a bowl and enjoy on top of any and everything!
