A perfect anytime, anywhere dish that can be whipped up in mere minutes.
Whether you’re entertaining for a crowd.
Or enjoying it in front of the Tube…
This pesto is sure to wow your little taste buds.
Spread atop a few gluten-free crackers, used as a dip with crudites or a spread in lieu of mayonnaise on sandwiches…
I’ve even been known to take a lil’ dollop and place it atop my breakfast omelets.
And alongside my evening grilled tofu, fish and poultry dishes.
Simply put. There’s no wrong way ta’ eat a good pesto.
Enjoy.
