Parsley Walnut Pesto

I use this as the sauce for pizza,  stirr into mashed potatoes, rice, vinaigrettes or toss with pasta.  


2 cups Italian parsley, tightly packed
3/4 cups toasted walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp lemon zest

IN a blender or food processor toss in parsley, walnuts  cheese, garlic, salt.  Pour this into a bowl and add oil, lemon juice and zest.  Mix well. 

NOte- you can freeze the pesto in small containers or a seal a meal works really well.
