Learning that pistachios are full of vitamins and minerals, that they contain good vegetable protein and are a rich anti oxidant made me want to create something delicious and nutritious using them. So I came up with my own pistachio spinach pesto, and I want to share it with you.
Ingredients
· 1 /2 cup of shelled pistachios soak in the juice of two limes
· 2 cloves of garlic minced
· 3 scallions or green onions ( some of the green part also ) cut into rounds
· 2 cups of fresh baby spinach
· 1/4 cup of extra – virgin olive oil
· Salt and pepper to taste
