I love making my own pesto at home, I love the taste of fresh basil especially the one I grow in my garden…

This is hardly a recipe but I wanted to share it.

1 cup fresh Mint

2 cups fresh Basil

1/4 cup olive oil

1 Tsps. sea Salt

1 Tsps. black Pepper

1 cup of mixed toasted Pecan, Walnuts and pine nuts

1/2 cup parmesan chesses

1 tsp. Lime Juice

2 tbsp. Lemon juice

In a food processer bowl add all ingredient except the olive oil, pulse for few times to mix..with the food processer running drizzle the olive oil until all combined.

I use this pesto as a pizza base, or a salad dressing it is delicious.
