Refresh Your Summer Dinners With This Lemon Basil Walnut Pesto

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at American chapter.

Pesto is a very versatile dish, you can mix any green with any kind of nut and put your own twist to it.

This pesto is made from walnuts, instead of the traditional pine nuts. You can really use any nut you like, but I prefer walnuts for this recipe. I am choosing to use both fresh basil and fresh mint. I am also adding a mix of fresh baby greens.
