Haley whipped up this awesome basil pesto recipe when we got home from an extremely cold walk around Amsterdam. It was so tasty, and although she says pesto can make anything taste good, this combination of flavors was perfect.
You could use this pesto for any number of things. This appetizer is really pretty, simple and refreshing.
