Easy Spinach Pesto

Appetizers

An easy and flavorful spinach pesto recipe that is quick to whip up and a great way to use an abundance of garden-fresh spinach!

Easy Spinach Pesto

Spinach Pesto is one of those things that I’m grateful for ~ not only is it easy to make, everyone loves it and  it helps us use bundles and bundles of spinach from the Farmer’s Market.

When the Farmer’s Market has bag upon bag of Spinach and the market is almost over.. they are eager to give me the extra bags that haven’t sold. And I’ll always take spinach because I can use it.  

But hey, I can only eat so much spinach salad.

This pesto is a wonderful way to use that spinach. Pesto keeps a long time and gives some variety from the traditional spinach salad.  I can mix spinach pesto with pasta for spinach pesto pasta. Even more… I especially love to spread pesto on baked chicken breasts. Yum yum!
