Healthy Basil Pesto

This is a healthy alternative to the traditional Pesto recipe. My husband and I substituted 2% milk for cheese.

Ingredients:

Pine Nuts 1/2 culp
Basil - chopped 1/2 cup
Onions - chopped 1/4 cup
Garlic- minced 1 tsp
Salt as required
Pepper as required
Milk (2%) 1/2- 3/4 cup
Green Chiles 2


Method:

1. Deseed green chiles and chop into small pieces
2. Add all ingredients to a food processor and grind for 2 to 3 minutes until a coarse texture is achieved

Pesto can be used as a dip or as a spread on bread. Enjoy!
