Pesto is widely used in Italian cuisine which is traditionally made out of pine nuts. Here I have used walnuts to make pesto and it has come out perfect. Walnuts are a good substitute to make pesto. Basil walnut pesto can be used as a spread or in sandwiches or in pasta dishes. It can be added to mayonnaise or cream cheese to prepare delicious dips.
