I like pesto that's a little more "loose", so I added another 1/8 cup of olive oil. You can't go wrong here.
Amazing Green Herb Pesto yum!
My daughter and I test it on yummy sourdough sesame bread and added a hunk of goat cheese. It tasted even better an hour after it chilled in the fridge.
I can't wait to try it on my grilled avocado and cheese sandwich tomorrow!
