"This recipe is from Taste of Home by Amber Massey. It is a healthier version of a pesto recipe using veggie broth and going easy on the cheese. I can't believe how delicious this combination ingredients tastes Do not spread on the bread until just before serving. Try it I think you'll be as surprised as I was."
