I have made pesto with various greens, including Swiss chard, arugula, super greens mix, the traditional basil, parsley and even lacinato kale, sometimes tossing in a little dill. Having a garden bed of dill prompted me to seek out if anyone had yet made a pesto using dill as the predominant green. This recipe encouraged me to surge forth. I snipped the dill from the garden along with a few leaves of basil and recommended amount of parsley, adding one huge clove of Elephant Garlic for bite, freshly grated Parm to taste, pine nuts and walnuts. I appreciate this recipe!

Truly wow! I too have a full garden bed of dill going to waste until now. I never knew dill could make such a wonderful pesto. Can't wait to add it to a chicken breast! I did make the following variations however: 1. 1/2 tsp salt for the pop 2. Almonds as the nuts since I didn't have anything else. 3. No parsely so I used just 2 cups of dill.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
