Day 17 - Best Dinner of the Week!

Tonight for dinner we are trying Walnut Pesto. We love pesto at our house and have always used pinenuts. I was excited to try the walnuts as several friends have said it's their favorite.

Ingredients:
1 cup walnut halves and pieces
6 garlic cloves
1 tsp. sea salt
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 1/2 cups fresh basil (the fresher it is, the better the pesto will taste!)
Juice from 1/2 lemon

Directions:
In a food processor, all the walnuts, garlic, sea salt, and extra-virgin olive oil. Process until smooth.
Add the basil and lemon juice and process again until smooth.

We had the pesto over grilled chicken, alongside grilled squash, zucchini, and onion from Rosedale Gardens. A wonderful summer meal! My friend, Lisa, said she doubles the pesto recipe and freezes half to have during the winter. I will definitely do that next time!
