Tiny Trash Can spinach pesto recipe

Spinach pesto

This has been my go-to pesto recipe for years. I use spinach instead of basil because it packs more of a nutritional punch, and it’s just as delicious! I make this pesto with zero waste by choosing unpackaged spinach, buying the olive oil, pistachios and salt from bulk stores, and bringing my own container to buy parmesan at the cheese counter.
