Put Your Pesto On!

Bushels of basil, freshly picked, stand ready for your inspiration every August. From marinara sauces to Caprese salads and pestos, basil is at its best!

 

IN THIS ISSUE, we focus on pestos - versatile sauces that are at home in so many late summer dishes. We start with a classic pesto, then mix it up with other pesto variations: Thai pesto, cilantro pesto, and a pistachio-herb pesto. Garlic, an essential component is given its due. Summer has never been more delicious!

July 30 - Tip of the Day: For fresh-tasting lemon or lime juice year-round, freeze lemons and limes whole; thaw in microwave before squeezing.
