Pesto

This is a family fav.  I love it on pasta, pizza, fish, soup, etc.  Plus it's cheaper than regular pesto and it freezes great.  I like to make a big batch and freeze it in a couple ice cube trays.  Then I have individual servings to use whenever I need it.  (Also great when you're salad greens aren't gonna make it much longer.)

Pesto

·         3 cups salad greens (we often use baby spinach)
·         1 clove garlic
·         1/3 cup pine nuts (can substitute pecans or walnuts - we usually use pecans)
·         1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
·         1/4 tsp (or more) Sea salt (to taste)
·         Olive oil

Combine first 5 ingredients in a blender and enough olive oil to get the blender to blend it all together.
