Y'all need to get on this basil money train. At Trader Joe's I could buy a bunch of basil for $3 or a plant of basil for $3. I choose the plant because how much more from scratch could you get. I wedged it between two tomato plants in my pathetic (that's generous) garden and it took off. Basil for days y'all!
I whipped up some pesto and we served it with my dad's grilled salmon, roasted broccoli, corn on the cob, and pasta. It went with everything we had on the table.
Dairy Free Pesto
Makes less than 1 cup
Adapted from Food Network Favorites
- 1 cup loosely packed basil
- 1 cup loosely packed parsley
- 4 tablespoons blanched sliced almonds
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- pepper
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
Pulse all ingredients except for the olive oil in a food processor or blender to form a coarse paste. With the motor running drizzle in the olive oil (or one tablespoon at a time) until incorporated. Serve with vegetables, pasta, salmon, chicken, sandwich, or whatever you can come up with.
