Basil Spinach Pesto

I adore fresh basil and put this Basil Spinach Pesto on everything! The bite from the garlic mixed with the sweetness from the spinach is just perfect. Make a big ole batch of this stuff, it is power packed with nutrients and vitamins….oh yeah, and freaking flavor out the ying yang!

Be sure to see the Perfect Summer Salad recipe below!

Basil Spinach Pesto
