Equipment
- 1 Food Processor
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup Chives finely chopped
- ½ cup Spinach roughly chopped
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- ¼ cup Pine Nuts

Instructions
- Start by adding the olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic to the bottom. Then layer in the chopped chives, parsley (or other herbs), nuts, and grated Parmesan.
- Pulse or blend until the mixture comes together into a smooth but slightly textured pesto. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
