When the Basil and Mint are abundant in our CSA box, I make this pesto. I include a stellar tip in the directions that helps keep this pesto vibrant in color. It's bright and fragrant, freezer friendly, and I include tips for an alternate ingredient if you're looking to keep it nut free!
Use this on burgers mixed with a little mayo, toss with roasted shredded chicken for a sandwich, mix with some lemon juice and olive oil to make a vinaigrette for summertime salads or... toss together with your pasta! The possibilities are endless.
