Scallion Pesto
4 cups scallion or green onions, coarsely sliced
1 cup fresh basil
2 tbsp fresh chive
5 cloves garlic (5 tsp minced)
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup pine nuts
¼ cup parmesan cheese
3 tbsp lemon juice
½ tsp salt
Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Yield: 2 cups
Serving size: ¼ cup, 175 calories per serving
Hack: Pesto can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or frozen for 12 months. I recommend freezing in ice cube trays and then removing portions to a freezer-safe container so you can thaw just the amount you need.
Hack: Pine nuts can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 months or in the freezer for 6 months.
Hack: Chop leftover green onions and freeze in a sealable freezer bag or container for future use.
Hack: Use leftover pine nuts in Baked Rice Pilaf, Healthy Vegetable Lasagna with Butternut Bechamel or Roasted Asparagus with Pine Nuts!
Hack: Use this pesto to make Chicken Pesto Naan Pizza!

I really appreciate the efforts you out into making the hack known to us all and that is good.
Thank you for your kind comments! Being a single person, I was always hesitant to buy a package of something just to use a small amount (and presumedly throw away the rest). I’ve done my research on how to properly store and preserve different items so I wanted to share!

Reading about this article Scallian pesto sounds really interesting. Well I haven’t heard of such meal before but going through this article was indeed informative and helpful
You may be more familiar with the term green onions, which are the same. Pesto, whether made from scallions or just basil, is more of a condiment than a meal. It is often used on pizza, tossed in pasta or with chicken/fish. I hope this helps!
