Basil-Pesto-Recipe

Happy Monday and welcome to another Start the Week Right healthy and easy recipe... Basil Pesto

Have you ever made basil pesto? It's soooooo easy but the flavour hinges on the quality of the fresh ingredients and a light flavoured olive oil. Worth a try and can be whipped up in mere minutes. Bottle it to give to friends or keep for later. I really love pesto on Bruschetta with tomato, caramelised balsamic and pesto. Needless to say, the food in my photo was eaten seconds after photography. Oh yummy!!!
