Lemon Arugula Pesto

Ingredients
  

  • 5 oz Fresh Arugula
  • 4 oz Pkg Fresh Basil -Remove Stems (2.7oz once stems are removed)
  • 1 Cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese Approx. 3oz
  • 1/2 Cup Pecans 2oz
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon
  • 3 Whole Cloves Garlic
  • 1 1/3 Cup olive oil
  • 3/4 Teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

  • In a blender place the arugula, basil, olive oil, garlic, lemon, and salt. Process until smooth and not stringy.
  • Next add in the parmesan and pecans. Pulse until you achieve the desired consistancy. I like to have larger chunks of pecans in my pesto. If you prefer the consistancy be smoother, allow the mixture to blend longer. However, Don't over-blend, causing the cheese to melt from the heat of the blades.
