This pesto is my favorite. I love spreading it over my keto bread for breakfast. The walnuts have a delicious texture that mixes well with the basil and lemon zest flavors. Also, walnuts are far more affordable than pine nuts that is often used to make pesto. Consuming this gives you a load of healthy unsaturated fats, and you can use it for pastas, risotto, salads, over roasts and really everything!
