Basil and spinach pesto makes any meal a treat. All the senses are inspired by the fresh and very unique aroma. You don’t need to pay high dollar for the foods that truly add flavor and enjoyment to your daily menu. Basil pesto is one of them.
Get fresh basil leaves and spinach from your herb garden or buy fresh, and make enough pesto to last for your 1-2 meals!
If you love pesto and sauces, check yet another interesting and equally easy and fast to make Romesco Sauce. We use it with pasta, and I even use it on my sandwiches. Very delicious and so much fresher than the one bought from store.

I love pesto so much and I know I will love this dip. Thanks for sharing this one I am so making it this month.
I can’t wait to make this.
I’m always looking for recipes that will be my ‘go-to’ recipes. This looks like one of those to me. Just looking at the ingredients I can tell it’s going to be a family favorite.
Love it! I have the recipe bookmarked.
I love spinach recipes. I would love to try this one out one day soon. I will do my best to make it as soon as possible.
This is a good replacement for salad dressing that you buy in local store. And your recipe is a healthy version of it. I will definitely try this and use for my pita sandwich and to my salad.
Looks yummy! Although we have not gone the vegetarian/vegan route yet, this basil spinach pesto screams healthy! I will share this recipe with my friends. Thanks for sharing!
Oh my goodness! These are really yummy! I’ll have to try these.
That looks like a great pesto sandwich salad pasta to make, sounds great! I will have to try it at least once.
Pesto is so easy to make and I don’t think people realize how easy it is. Plus, it tastes WAY better homemade than store bought!
It’s so easy to prepare the basil spinach pesto. This would really be healthy too.
This is great! I have a lot of spinach in basil in my garden. I can’t wait to try this.
Oh this sounds really nice. I’d try using it with so many recipes! I think it would be amazing with pasta.
I love pesto sauce but never made it myself at home. This looks and sounds so delicious. I love how easy this recipe is.
I love pesto! I never thought to make it myself. I can’t wait to try this recipe. My daughter loves it as well.
I have never made my own pesto,but your recipe seems easy enough for me to try it. I think the only thing I would change is the walnuts and have it without them.
I always love making my own pesto in the summer. i have never made it with spinach before, but it sounds yummy.
This sounds super doable. I have never attempted to make my own pesto because I thought it would be too difficult. Thanks for the recipe.
Oh that sounds so good! I love the flavors, and it’s so healthy, too. I have to make some of this.
Heather,
Yes, walnuts are included. They hid behind a teacup!
They’re in the recipe!
I love making pesto! Unfortunately, my basil plant did not do well with this extreme heat. Did you add walnuts? I don’t see them in your ingredients list.
I make basil pesto often, but I’ve never thought to add spinach. I really like spinach, so I know I’ll love your pesto. It looks delicious.
This sounds like an interesting recipe that I would love to try. I have never made anything like this but my family would really love this because spinach is something we eat a lot of during the week. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
