Ingredients
1/2 cup almonds, toasted
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup Freeman Herbs fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup Freeman Herbs fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup Freeman Herbs basil leaves
1/8 cup Freeman Herbs fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons chopped Freeman Herbs fresh chives
1 lemon, zest and juice
3/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
Blend the almonds and garlic in a food processor until fine. Add the spinach, cheese, herbs, lemon zest and lemon juice to the food processor. Blend the herbs just enough so they are mixed, about 3 seconds. Add the canola oil and olive oil while the food processor is on a low setting. Season with salt and pepper. Blend to desired consistency. Transfer the pesto to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped tomatoes on top if desired. Any leftover pesto should be placed in a bowl and covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated.
