Notes
We absolutely love the fresh flavor mint gives to this creamy pesto. It’s delicious over any type of noodle (we love it over Zoodles) and doubles as a delicious dip for fresh veggies!
Make ahead tip: Make the pesto 1 day in advance but drizzle olive oil on top to keep the fresh green look (pesto can turn brown when not covered in oil).
