Pesto Herb Spread

SUBMITTED BY: veggigoddess PHOTO BY: Java_Girl

"This is a yummy, creamy version of standard pesto that makes a great spread for get togethers. Tastes great with pita chips or sourdough bread! Sun dried tomatoes may be mixed in for a zesty tang. Add crunch by coating the finished spread with almonds."
