Notes&Tips:

• I really liked the taste of this Sage Pesto. I made it to use with Grilled Chicken and was blown away by it. I must admit that I do like the taste better than Basil Pesto. However, if you're not a fan of sage, you may not gravitate to it like I did.

• My Sage Pesto was on the thicker side, but if you'd like a thinner pesto, add a bit more olive oil.

• Use this Pesto as a spread for toast, with grilled chicken, grilled lamb, or for a turkey sandwich.
