spinach pesto

A little pesto recipe to get you through any mid-week blues (and turn them green!).

Spinach Pesto

Ingredients:

• 3 cups spinach leaves, packed
• 1 tbsp. dried parsley
• 1/2 cup pine nuts
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• juice from 1/2 lemon

Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor. Start with the 2 tbsp. of olive oil and blend, blend, blend. As you blend, pour more olive oil through the hole in the top of the processor until it reaches your desired consistency. I like mine with that little extra oil. Then your done! Dip or spread, but whatever you do, just enjoy!
