  • Optional: ½ of a jalapeño (if you like it spicy)
  • ¼ cups of walnut halves or pieces

Instructions
  1. Into your food processor, add your garlic and walnuts (if using the jalapeno add it here too).

  3. Then add your basil and spinach leaves.
  4. Pulse several times to blend again.
  5. Then through the spout, drizzle the olive oil while the machine is running.
