Homemade Pesto


Friday night we had our first dinner party in our new little rental home. We made the roasted butternut squash salad with warm cider vinaigrette (page 88) and the pesto (page 44). We decided to follow Steph's advice and halve the olive oil in the salad dressing, which worked very well. Everyone really enjoyed the meal and our guests kept complementing the food.

The salad will be a must have in the fall...we really loved it. Basil is at its best in the summertime, so we'll keep the recipe on hand and look forward to making the pesto from our own garden in 6 months or so.

Eat well,
Kimberly and David
