This bright and punchy pesto is the perfect way to use your flavorful arugula this week! Try it with seafood (like baked salmon), with your eggs at breakfast, or toss with roasted veggies.

2 ounces arugula

1 jalapeño, ½ the seeds and ribs removed, roughly chopped

1 garlic clove, roughly chopped

⅓ cup whole/halved walnuts

zest of 1 lime

juice of 2 limes

¼ teaspoon each, salt and pepper

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

In a food processor add arugula, jalapeño, garlic, and walnuts. Pulse about 10 times or until roughly chopped.

Add lime zest, lime juice, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Pulse again about 5 times just until combined.
