Spinach pesto
This recipe is my southern answer to pesto. It's a bit savory, so I balance the bite with a slice of apple for service on crackers. It could easily be used for sandwich filling, or stuffing pasta, or a general use filling.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Use equal parts of cream cheese, pecan, parmesan, and cut spinach. Assemble in a mixing bowl.
- 2
Use a few drops of lemon juice to make cream cheese more easily blend with other ingredients. Be careful, too much lemon can make mixture bitter.
- 3
Add parsley, dill weed, and sea salt to please your pallet. Mix thoroughly.
- 4
Chill for service.

Serving suggestion: In photo above, the spread is topping for a cracker with a base of spinach leaf, thin sliced fugi apple, thin slice hard boiled egg, then topped with the spread. The apple adds a balancing sweetness that creates a perfect bite for my pallet. Bon appetit y'all.
