Description
This makes a great dip/spread for crackers, crudites, addition to quinoa/rice/pasta/wraps or soups. I like this for the fall/winter months when fresh basil is not so plentiful. but zesty flavour is still in season! In spring I use stinging nettles, summer all basil and fall /winter kale does the trick and is extra nutritious!
