Spinach Pesto

By: Sally Twellman

Ok, ya’ll know I love simple, but I also love delicious and healthy…well then this sauce is the perfect recipe trifecta!

Making a Pesto from scratch may seem intimidating, but they really are super easy and take really no time at all! They are also perfect for vegan or vegetarian recipes because they are made with nuts to increase the protein and micronutrient content of your meatless meal.

Enjoy!
