Parsley and Arugula Pesto

This is good if you are eating some basic dishes (grains and veggies) and need to fancy it up a bit. I love pesto and if you have a food processor it’s a breeze to make. If you have a small blender (a Magic Bullet, Ninja, or hand blender, it’s harder but doable)

Parsley and Arugula Pesto

Sometimes we just need a fun sauce or topping to bring out the flavor of veggies. This simple pesto does the trick.
