Spinach Pesto




Most people use basil in their pesto. However when I arrived at the grocery store they were all out. So I needed to think of a backup plan. I ended up using spinach instead of basil and I thought it was very good! 

Ingredients
2 cups of spinach
3-4 cloves of garlic
½ cup olive oil
½ cup almonds
¾ cups parmesan cheese

Directions
Add spinach, garlic and almonds to your food processor. Blend together on high for approx 30 seconds. Add in olive oil and parmesan cheese. Blend for approx 1 minute. 


I used the pesto on a chicken burger and it was absolutely delicious!
