Spinach Pesto Recipe with Walnuts


A simple twist on the classic basil pesto recipe, we have used spinach and walnuts to add a nuttier flavour to our spinach pesto recipe, perfectly complemented by the subtle nutty flavour of Mellow Yellow Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil. Perfect for using on pasta, as a dip, or to create delicate canapés. So much better than the usual pesto found in jars, making it yourself gives you so many options to personalise your pesto and add your favourite herbs and nuts.

 

This recipe uses Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil which is low in saturated fat and high in Omega 3, making this recipe ideal for a healthy and balanced diet. Simply click here to find your nearest stockist.
