From the very first time I put this pesto together, it grew to become a regular accessory for daily menus. Serve this excellent and colorful pesto thrown with hot pasta or like a dip or spread for chips, crackers, or raw vegetables. You may also add a bit more oil and a few vinegar to create a tasty salad dressing. Hemp seed includes a unique nutty flavor plus all the essential proteins and both omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids. You are able to serve this being an appetizer in bite-size pastry shells.
