Spinach can be used in place of basil in your favourite pesto recipe and then enjoyed as a sauce with zucchini noodles, in a salad or with chicken. Note that this recipe makes an incredibly garlicky pesto, start with 1 clove of garlic if you’d prefer less of a pungent pesto!  You’ll need:

  • 2 Cups Spinach
  • 1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2-3 Garlic Cloves, peeled
  • 1/2 Cup Walnuts, Chopped or Pine Nuts
  • Juice of 1/2 Lemon or Lime
  • 2 Tablespoons Parmesan (Optional)
  • Generous Pinch of Salt
