Add all the pesto ingredients to a food processor and blitz until blended well and the walnuts (or pine nuts) are broken down. Feel free to add more olive oil if you&#39;d like to thin it out or it the pesto is not blending just right.

Excellent. I didn't have cilantro, so I just used spinach, and tweaked the ingredients at the end. I toasted the walnuts. I've made pesto with chicken stock before, but I think the lemon juice is better.

This was really good, thought I’d taste the spinach but surprisingly I didn’t. Tasted like a high quality pesto from a specialty store.

I made this last summer and loved it! It was just right and now I don’t remember what 3 cups spinach was by weight. What do you think, Bailey? Thanks.

Love this pesto. I doubled the batch and froze half as you suggested.
