Author Notes

I love pesto. I especially love pesto that uses any, and all kinds of greens and herbs! The combinations are truly endless in the wide world of pesto. Here, I chose spinach and chives for a super spring-y pesto to top pasta, veggies, grain salads, options are endless. —Lindsey S. Love | Dolly and Oatmeal

This came along just as I was trying to figure out how to turn my veg bag into food for the week, so I made it with almonds instead of pistachios (it was what was in the cupboard...). Had it with tomatoes and pasta and it was delicious! I think tomorrow I'll try it with barley and eggplant and tomato. Thank you for an easy and yummy recipe!
