Pesto Pasta Salad

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
