Spinach Pesto

At the grocery store, there are typically a few different types of pesto available for you. However, they're usually too oily, bland, or over-salted. This pesto balances oil, salt, and flavor and is incredibly healthy on top of that. It can be used as a spread for sandwiches, paninis, different meats, veggies, salads, etc. Basically, it has endless preparations that I explore on my blog.
