Sounds lovely! I recently made rocket pesto and that was yum too 🙂
I noticed the lemon juice is not in this recipe for the pesto but its included in the ingredient list for the recipe, do you add the lemon juice with everything else in the food processor?
This pesto is perfect for mixing with shredded chicken for chicken salad. Absolutely love it for meal prep for my weekly lunches! I started trying some of your online recipes after buying your cook book – so far, everything has been easy to make and delicious. Thanks!
So glad you’re loving it! And you inspired me to update this picture 😉
