Ingredients


1/2 cup Basil, fresh
1/4 cup Sage, fresh
1/4 cup Spinach (fresh)
1/2 cup Extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup Walnuts (can use pecans or pine nuts instead)
2 clove(s) Garlic (can add more if you like it)
2 tbsp Lime juice (fresh)
1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt

Instructions


Toast the walnuts in a small skillet over low heat, stirring frequently and taking care not to burn. Cool to room temperature.

Add basil, sage, spinach, garlic, walnuts, lime, salt and garlic to the food processor or blender. Blend until smooth.

Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.

Transfer pesto to a container and if not using it immediately, squeeze a bit more of fresh lime juice on top. Lime juice acts as a natural preservative to keep the pesto bright green.

Notes:

Use your imagination switching any of the herbs listed to the ones you like the most.
