    Besides my Asparagus Lemon Pesto, Sweet Pea Pesto is another great type of pesto that my family enjoys. We love its brightened color and sweet creamy taste.

    I like to mix this Sweet Pea Pesto with pasta and add pieces of grilled chicken. This pesto is great as a dip or on any grilled bread and perfect with any grilled fish.
