Pesto Pasta Salad Another of my favorite salad :) My friend made a Pesto Pasta Salad tomatoes, olives, mozzarella, spinach, and onions. Here is an easy recipe for the Pesto Sauce: Ingredients 2 cups fresh basil leaves (about 1 large bunch) 3 cloves garlic ½ cup pine nuts (or walnuts) 3/4 cup freshly grated hard cheese such as Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino-Romano cheese, or a combo of the two ½ cup olive oil Kosher salt to taste Method Combine all the ingredients except the oil and cheeses in a food processor. Pulse until the pesto is blended into a slightly coarse paste. Vegan Option : Italian Dressing in place of Pesto sauce
