Recipe Notes

*The amount of water you will need will depend on how thick you want your finished pesto to be. Less water will be required for a spread and more for a dressing.

**I like to keep some texture in my pesto so I only chop them with a couple of pulses of the food processor. You can of course combine yours fully.

Keep the pesto in an airtight jar in the fridge and it should last for 5-7 days.
