Arugula Pesto
Slightly adapted from recipe on Epicurious
Pesto made with fresh arugula and walnuts makes an easy appetizer. Spread on crostini, put a little on grilled chicken or steak, toss with pasta.

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups (packed) fresh arugula
  • 1/2 Cup walnuts (chopped)
  • 1/2 Cup grated parmesan
  • 1-2 Cloves garlic
  • 1/4 Teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 Cup olive oil (If needed, you could add another 1/4 cup olive oil)

Note

This recipe makes 8-10 ounces of pesto.  I found the recipe for Arugula Pesto on the Epicurious website. It originally comes from a cookbook called: This Is A Cookbook: Recipes For Real Life. I've found that the saltiness of the parmesan will directly affect the amount of kosher salt going into the pesto.  I recommend adding/tasting a little at a time.

This pesto is really good spread on a toasted baguette, drizzled over grilled chicken (or steak!) or mixed into pasta.

Enjoy! - The Recipe Wench
