From Scratch Lemon Balm Pesto
Straight from the garden, lemon balm makes a fresh and bright pesto that can be used on pasta, pizza, or as a refreshing dip!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup lemon balm leaves firmly packed
- ⅓ cup freshly grated parmesan
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon green onion
- 3 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped almonds
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic granules
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rinse lemon balm leaves. Combine all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Add 1 teaspoon more oil at a time if you want it thinner. For more spice add 1 clove fresh garlic.
- Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge. If using at a later date taste again to see if you need to add more lemon at that time to refresh it.
