I love this zesty basil and spinach pesto! You can’t even taste the spinach in it but you know you’re getting all of the nutrients from it! I call that a win win. I use this pesto on top of pastas, to dress up veggies, as a spread on sandwiches and toast, and of course on pizza! Highly highly recommend trying this recipe out! ENJOY!
