Refreshing Mint Pesto Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Whether you're looking for an adventurous new way to prepare your everyday pasta dinner, or trying a new method for making your easter lamb, we recommend trying out this mint pesto instead. Its bright and garlicky flavor complements many dishes, especially those with a little bit of a gamier meat. Want to customize your mint pesto? Feel free to switch out the parsley with spinach to make a mint and spinach pesto. Since parsley is on the milder side, it complements the mint well. We wouldn't recommend combining two strong-flavored herbs like basil and mint, as they may overpower one another. Feel free to leave out the almonds if you are allergic to tree nuts. If you are not allergic to nuts but aren't a fan of almonds, you can also absolutely replace them with pine nuts. You can also leave out the feta cheese if you are looking to make this recipe vegan. You may just need to add a little more salt, but otherwise, the sauce will be very similar. You can also switch up the feta cheese for another crumbly goat cheese. The choice is yours.
